Re: Snort / Pulled Pork Confusion

["Jefferson, Shawn" <Shawn.Jefferson () bcferries com>]

You can run snort with all those rule files if you want, download and extract them manually, or you could probably even 
use Oinkmaster if you'd like.  But why?  There's a better tool out there to do this now, with many great features that 
take into account how Snort has evolved over time.

DAQ, and database support: these things let Snort keep up with the times as far as link speeds and traffic volume go, 
as well as providing more flexibility (ie. you can run in-line or in IDS mode easily with the same code).

Just because you can't figure it out doesn't mean it should be back the way it was.  Why don't you just buy a turnkey 
solution if you're having so much trouble?  Sourcefire sells them, as well as many other companies.

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort / Pulled Pork Confusion

ok let me get this straight, we had to install snort and have a rules file for it to run, or at least with local.rules, 
and now you are saying we need pulledpork as the snort.conf is false in that is still has RULE PATHS defined... very 
confusing,,, and on top of all that, define rules in everything in barnyard2 but make sure to type it in cmdline, oh 
and nnot able to connect to db locally remotely lol. this just is so convoluted from the old snort... just put 
everything back the way it was, drop daq, forget inline, and run tcpwrappers and a good firewall...
whats the whole point of ids anyway... you will be stuck in false positive land for infinity... what you want is to 
protect your network, now, snort inline, that makes sense, but trying to get everything to work with base is not 
working anymore???

good gravy guys.... your firewall show drop repeat offenders, and allow snort to log to db. run multiple snorts if you 
are worried to drop packets, no one here has that much traffic, dont say you do, i wont believe you. point is, put 
things back the way they were as in snort 1.x thanks
