sorry. snort.u2 is the log output format (unified2) with the appended identifier: .1234557... but why is that snort cannot read it with ./snort -r ./log/snort.u2.12345678 error: ERROR: Can't initialize DAQ pcap (-1) - unknown file format 2013/5/1 Balla István <balla.bmf () gmail com>
thanks for the answer Joel. snort is running as a daemon now. I wonder if you could provide a flow file with malicious traffic patterns (not so malicious, since my snort is not fine tuned yet :) that snort can read in readback mode to test it. **are detection and prevention functioning while reading back a flow or any traffic file? ------------------------------------------------ other thing: following a basic deployment documentation i added the followings to rc.local: /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c /usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard2.conf \ -G /usr/local/snort/etc/gen-msg.map \ -S /usr/local/snort/etc/sid-msg.map \ -d /var/log/snort \ -f snort.u2 \ -w /var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo \ -D it runs cool but what is *-f snort.u2 * i don t find it anywhere in the file system... thanks 2013/4/30 Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>On Apr 30, 2013, at 3:43 PM, Balla István <balla.bmf () gmail com> wrote: please point to the appropriate chapter in snort manual (long one) where Decoding Ethernet is explained (and how to modify) "Decoding Ethernet" means "Snort is running now!". I suggest you add "-D" to your Snort command line to make Snort run as a daemon and then deal with the logs it produces. **one more thing: is "-h anyiphere" necessary in the line command once I set ipvar HOME_NET variable in snort.conf? -h is for the command line. If you are setting HOME_NET in your snort.conf, then no, you don't need it in your command line. -- *Joel Esler* Senior Research Engineer, VRT OpenSource Community Manager Sourcefire
