Re: Snort 2.9.4.5 rules using pp

[Ashraf Ali <ashrafali.ibs () gmail com>]

yes, if i use the command (snort -c /usr/local/snort/snort.conf -i eth0
-A)  and can see lots of traffic on the console but nothing is getting dump
in the log file, it is still 0 Bytes.

i did a R&D , by creating a file called local.rules in the same rules
folder and added a signature (alert tcp any any -> any any(msg:"Tcp traffic
found" sid:1000001);
in the snort.conf file i put a # before include statement of snort.rules
line and added local.rules
later restarted both snort and barnyard2 Deamons , Guess what i can see log
file filling up, and in GUI i can see the alerts.

There seems to be some problem with the snort.rules file which PP has
created.
