How many network interfaces do you have in your Snort sensor? On Linux machines, interface numbering starts at zero. If you only have one NIC installed, you'd have to reference eth0: ifconfig eth0 up -- Eric Grejda -----Original Message----- From: Brian McNeilly [mailto:bmcneilly () shaw ca] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 7:23 PM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] Snort on Linux with no IP I apologise in advance for the newbie question, which undoubtedly has been discussed to death already. Before you send me to the FAQ, here is the relevant snippit from there: 3.1 How do I setup snort on a 'stealth' interface? *BSD and Linux: ifconfig eth1 up OK, so I do this and the response I get is: eth1: unknown interface: No such device Can anyone elaborate on the rather limited response found in the FAQ for this issue? Is seems to me that many people have asked about this before, but there never has been an appropriate explanation put into the FAQ (I've just spent the entire afternoon reading mail archives to no avail). Sorry if I'm just stupid, but the FAQ isn't really helpful on this issue.
