Re: What is the correct syntax for bpf_file?

[Miguel Alvarez <miguellvrz9 () gmail com>]

Thanks for the reply.  I just have one line just to test:

not src host (10.10.1.1)

But it's still triggering alerts after restarting snort.

01/29-16:56:07.106637  [**] [1:2010937:2] ET POLICY Suspicious inbound to
mySQL port 3306 [**] [Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority:
2] {TCP} 10.10.1.1:39944 -> 10.42.1.0:3306

Any ideas?  I am very familiar with bpf syntax and use it on the command
line with tcpdump all the time so this is very confusing!

Thank you,

MA
