I have been tasked with tailoring rulesets on a large collection of sensors (more than a hundred). I need to come up with a baseline set of rules for sensors on both internal and external (internet exposed) segments. Has anyone come up with baseline rulesets for these two very general situations? I have some ideas about which rules I think are appropriate, but could really benefit from someone else's experience. Any links or advice greatly appreciated.
You might want to use m4 and a sensor(-type) specific configuration file (ifdef's) so you can generate the config automatically based on local decisions. No two sensors are ever alike. Unless you're doing false positive reduction at a central location, and you happen to be really good at that already. - -- Erik Fichtner Principal Engineer, Information Security, ServerVault Corp. 703-652-5900 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBGOV6Q7EzrewLMS0RAlSpAKCoQ3+snnFKgSofO+IUzrDS67J//ACdGe37 pIklGuZoc5QGpu6b5r1Q6Zg= =ZQ1P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
