Hi I am new to snort. I have a simple home LAN, with a Cable modem and a linux box acting as a Router/ FW. I have 3 machines on the inside. All are connected to a cheap little D-link switch. Is my only option to put snort on the Linux Router/FW ? I have read the FAQ concerning this but i am still not sure. Any suggestions or pointers to more documentation is appreciated. Thanks
If your gateway/firewall server is a multi-homed system (dual nics), putting the sensor on the external nic works nicely for me. If you are running a single nic server, you might want to look elsewhere for sensor location, i.e. maybe your switch, if it supports port mirroring... Just some thoughts, drjung -- J.
