You should be able to implement Snort as an inline IDS in your VPC by adding a Linux instance with two network interfaces. Install Snort on that and configure your routing tables and AWS security groups to direct all traffic to one interface on the Snort instance, and all downstream devices to receive traffic from the other interface. You can set up IP tables to handle the inbound and outbound flow through Snort just as you would on a physical dual-interface box. Dr. Stephen D.

Here are some inexpensive tap/span solutions:”. These solutions look like they are not compatible with AWS. My findings are that AWS does not support Span, Tap or Mirror on their network layer to get a copy of traffic to inspect which is needed for Network IDS. so I am confused as to how this solution could be deployed for NIDS on AWS. Same thing holds true for Snort. I have only been successful finding Host Based IDS solutions for AWS which require an Agent on each node. Either they do the IDS analysis on the node itself or do a “soft-tap” on the host’s network adapter (Not at the VPC Perimeter) and pass it to an IDS manager. How do you do inline HIDS on AWS is my question. I am coming up with a lot of the same questions out there but no answers.

If yes, what is the tools to use and how to move ahead? -- Regards, Sandeep -- Regards, Sandeep ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=snort-users Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!
