Re: Semantics of ipvar HOME_NET

[Research <research () nativemethods com>]

ANSWERED - Turns out I didn’t read the comment *DIRECTLY* above that line and the word “home” was confusing me.

The comment is:

        # Setup the network addresses you are protecting

So…

        ipvar HOME_NET 1.2.3.4

…means provide snort analysis on web server at 1.2.3.4.
