Where do I go from here

["Timothy A. Holmes" <tholmes () mcaschool net>]

Hi Folks:

After some fits and starts, I believe that I have a functional IDS Box
watching the front door now, and I took out the back door (Wireless ap)
and repaired the hole in the wall with bricks and mortar

 

So, I guess the next question is what is the next step?



To summarize, I have a SNORT box up and sniffing on the inbound line
between the Cable Modem and the Firewall.  The management port is inside
the firewall and has an IP on it while the sniffing port is outside the
firewall and does not have one.  

 

I am logging to a mysql database, and running base for reporting.

 

As of the last check, I have received about 4500 alerts today, here is
the breakdown from base on them

 

Displaying alerts 1-7 of 7 total

I guess I need to know what to do next and how to begin utilizing this
data to better protect my network

 

Anyone who can help, or point me to the proper resources would be
greatly appreciated
