Dear Snort Team @ Sourcefire, As some of the information on the http://www.snort.org/docs page pertaining to how to make home routers mirror traffic to Snort is outdated, could you publish this manual on the http://www.snort.org/docs page as well. Please note that the latest dd-wrt v24-SP2 and OpenWRT 12.09 firmwares NO LONGER support mirroring traffic to Snort as they are based on the Linux kernel 3.x. The kernel module ipt_ROUTE.ko is *incompatible* with Linux kernel 3.x. The ipt_ROUTE source code is only compatible with the Linux kernel 2.6.x. Please use Tomato by Shibby firmwares if you seriously want to mirror traffic to Snort. Please visit his website at http://tomato.groov.pl/ Why do you want to use Tomato by Shibby firmwares if you want to contemplate mirroring traffic to Snort? Because Tomato by Shibby firmwares are based on the Linux kernel 2.6.x. The latest is not always the greatest. After failing to mirror traffic to Snort with the latest dd-wrt and OpenWRT firmwares on my Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 router, I have FINALLY successfully mirrored traffic to Snort using Tomato by Shibby firmware on my Asus RT-N15U router. I have wasted a few days and SGD$109 on the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 wireless router in attempting to mirror traffic to Snort. I have wasted a lot of time on the dd-wrt and OpenWRT firmwares. Please DO NOT use the *latest* dd-wrt and OpenWRT firmwares if you seriously want to use home routers to mirror traffic to Snort. I hope I have saved potential Snort users' (who want to use home routers to mirror traffic to Snort) time and money by providing valuable advice here. Please refer to the attached PDF file in this email for the manual which I have just written. Lastly, and the most important of all, please help me generate some alerts for my Snort IDS virtual machine. My Snort IDS is installed in a virtual machine running on Oracle VM VirtualBox. My websites are http://www.teo-en-ming.com and http://www.zhang-enming.com I want to see some alerts appearing on my Snort box, just to make sure my Snort NIDS is fully operational. Yours sincerely, Teo En Ming
