Hello,I current have fast alerts turned ON for my Snort sensors running Linux variant. These fast alerts go to local syslog. By default I notificed pcap logs get stored in /var/log/snort.
Just trying to figure out 2 things. 1. Are these pcap for ALL conventional text based rules that get triggered? Do these pcap include raw packet dumps for alerts triggered through so rules as well? 2. I noticied some botnet related alerts (fast alerts as noted above) and I wanted to drill into the packets using tcpdump so that I can double check if the alert is real or not. However I was not able to find that alert in tcpdump. What am I missing in configuration. I tried searching and I was not able to narrow down on an answer. Thanks for your time. Will appreciate any help. -Am
