Re: ip's outside of HOME_NET showing up

Some rules are written EXTERNAL_NET -> HOME_NET and others HOME_NET -> EXTERNAL_NET

my $0.02 check out the 'questionable' alerts ... you may need to change the rule.

Hello,

 I finally got my acid/mysql setup working well.  However i have
HOME_NET defined as my public range , say 24.100.100.0/24.  However i
am seeing tons of destination ip addresses outside of that.  Shouldnt
snort only be watching attacks destined for the HOME_NET network ?  Or
do i need to specifically limit that with a BPF filter?  I thought
snort handled that with the HOME_NET variable but still am seeing all
sorts of ip addresses in ACID.

thanks
adam
