RE: How to install snort on Windows 2000?

["Michael Steele" <michaels () silicondefense com>]

Kit,

The how-to located at:

http://www.silicondefense.com/techsupport/windows.htm

You should install snort this way:

● Create 3 Folders: "C:\Snort\” - "C:\Snort\Bin\" - "C:\Snort\Logs\" 

● Install Snort into "C:\Snort\Bin" folder.

I guess I should have worded the above to say:

● Extract the snort-1.7-win32-MySQL-static.zip into the "C:\Snort\Bin"
folder.

Follow the how-to and you should be able to complete the setup without
any problems. If you do run into problems please don't hesitate to ask
for help from us.

Thanks. But, should I just run the snort.exe after I extract the .zip
file?
In the document, it mentioned to install Snort into C:\Snort\Bin folder.
What parameters should I give when I run the snort.exe? Or, I should put
all extracted files to C:\Snort\Bin?

No, you can use a binary package.  I would suggest using the standard
distribution.

http://download.datanerds.net/binaries/snort-1.7-win32-static.zip

Follow the directions that pertain to Snort in the document "Snort on
Win2k", and you should be up and running in no time.
