HI List,We all know that snort can be in NIDS mode to detect all the packets in the network, but can snort just detect some specific destination address?? I have a computer with 2 NIC, and I want snort to detect some packets send to the second NIC only, So other packets without the MAC address in the header the same with the 2nd NIC MAC address will not be captured by snort,Can snort do this?
I'm not 100% I understand your question, but I think I do.. You want snort to run on only one of two interfaces, and only monitor one MAC (the local mac)
Some suggestions: 1) use -i to force snort to only listen on the second interface 2) use -p to turn off promisc sniffing3) use snort command line that has a BPF filter with the "ether host" keyword to restrict snort to only seeing traffic to/from a particular mac. See man tcpdump for info on BPF filter formats (tcpdump and snort use the same command line BPF filter format)
