I am running an apache2 server on Ubuntu 10.04 (with ssh also running). I recently installed snort. I apologize for this elementary question, but I am having trouble understanding the daily report e-mailed by snort. There are various lines such as COMMUNITY SIP TCP/IP message flooding directed to SIP proxy (ftp_telnet) FTP traffic encrypted some to my IP address, some from it. I would like to know what I should be looking out for, which lines in the report are innocuous and which might require some countermeasures. The snort man page does not shed light on this, as far as I can tell. Can someone please direct me to some documentation that clarifies the daily report?
"snort-stat" is the program that generates the report: http://docs.byteme.org.uk/man/en/snort-stat.8 However, as Ian says, you'll need to check each alert to see if it's correct - which is a great way of learning about your network. Ideally, try to use some interface (I use base from secureideas, but that's a bit dated) where you can pull up the packet itself fairly easily. Google is very much your friend here :) cheers, Jamie -- Jamie Riden / jamie () honeynet org / jamie.riden () gmail com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/jamieriden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
