It hasn't changed.. Those additional tables were installed by Aanval
Intrusion Detection Console. You must have installed it between May04 and
now.

Cheers,
Jeff

Subject: [Snort-users] When did this change?

I've been doing some updating on a snort box, and I had to troubleshoot 
some problems.  While in the midst of that, I discovered something that 
shocked me.  The schema for the database (mysql) has changed dramatically. 
(I'm running snort 2.1.2 on FreeBSD.)

Here's the old schema:
mysql> show tables;
+-------------------------+
| Tables_in_archive_MAY04 |
+-------------------------+
| data                    |
| detail                  |
| encoding                |
| event                   |
| icmphdr                 |
| iphdr                   |
| opt                     |
| reference               |
| reference_system        |
| schema                  |
| sensor                  |
| sig_class               |
| sig_reference           |
| signature               |
| tcphdr                  |
| udphdr                  |
+-------------------------+
16 rows in set (0.00 sec)

And here's the new schema:

mysql> show tables;
+--------------------+
| Tables_in_snort    |
+--------------------+
| acid_ag            |
| acid_ag_alert      |
| acid_event         |
| acid_ip_cache      |
| actions            |
| data               |
| detail             |
| encoding           |
| event              |
| flags              |
| frequent_offenders |
| hostnames          |
| icmphdr            |
| ids_collection     |
| ids_live_track     |
| ids_logs           |
| ids_mark           |
| ids_oad_buffer     |
| ids_ops            |
| ids_sensors        |
| ids_track          |
| iphdr              |
| opt                |
| protocols          |
| reference          |
| reference_system   |
| schema             |
| sensor             |
| sig_class          |
| sig_reference      |
| signature          |
| tcphdr             |
| timezones          |
| udphdr             |
| users              |
+--------------------+
35 rows in set (0.00 sec)

When did the schema change?  Obviously this changes things dramatically. 
Not the least my database archiving script.  It also raises some questions.

I've done some reading, and I understand these extra tables come from the 
snort_extra file in the contrib directory, but I'm wondering if anyone 
knows when FBSD started including these in the standard install.

"frequent_offenders" - is this being used now?  Or is it for the future?
"users" - what is this for?
"ids_..." - what are these for?
