Snort on iPhone

[Miso Patel <miso.patel () gmail com>]

Some of my engineers are asking ... what is the best way to put Snort on
the iPhone?  They really want to know about IPS mode so they can block
specific network traffic to Apple, arbitrary "apps", etc.  Privacy is big
concern here now, especially now that we know that the United States NSA is
monitoring and recording most of what we do (hi, US NSA :P).

I thought I'd ask here first before asking around about other tools to do
this such as Suricata.

The challenge, as I understand it is to get it to compile on the
architecture.  Since the iPhone is a computer (although with a not a common
an architecture as most PCs, servers, etc.), it should be possible.  Does
anyone have a good tutorial?  If there isn't a Snort IPS app (I didn't see
it in the App Store), I suppose you will have to jailbreak the phone and
install gcc etc. to compile but there could be considerations since the
architecture isn't a normal PC.
