Initial snort.conf

[vishesh kumar <linuxtovishesh () gmail com>]

I am newbie in snort. I written following lines in snort.conf
 ipvar HOME_NET 192.168.1.0
 ipvar EXTERNAL_NET any
 preprocessor stream5_global : max_tcp 8192, track_tcp yes, track_udp
no,track_icmp no
 preprocessor stream5_tcp : detect_anomalies

Then i started snort with following command
 root#snort -c snort.conf -l /var/log/snort -A fast

But problem is that nothing is getting logged in /var/log/snort/alert,
even though i am sending forged SYN request using scapy. I tried
multiple invlaid TCP sessions but nothing get logged .
What may be the error?

Thanks
