RE: Alternate Alerting for Snort - phone

["Eric Hines" <eric.hines () appliedwatch com>]

Michael,

Question: When you say alerting to your phone, do you mean for the Snort
sensor or management station to dial your phone with a modem connected to
the system or via email to your phone or SMS?

Subject: [Snort-users] Alternate Alerting for Snort - phone

Before I get started, I've looked through the archives and looked 'round
online and have yet to have any good luck (other than a bad link).

Management has asked me to look into real-time alerting from the Snort
sensor we employ, round the clock, to my phone. The only nearly helpful
reference I saw had a link to the old FAQ on sourforge's snort site, and I
didn't find what I was looking for elsewhere. I realize that the potential
for a storm of false-positives is very real, but, we essentially shut down
at 6:30 everyday, and coupled with good tuning, should greatly reduce the
occurrence of that after hours. This will be running WinSnort on XP SP2,
BTW. (Consolidating from several sensors to a better located central
sensor.)

The factory I used to work at had a solution in place with Watchdog and an
obsolete piece of code for heartbeats to goto their cells. But if I recall,
they spent a bit on the license for that old piece of code. 

Certainly appreciate it!

Michael Bowman
