Re: Running snort on a firewall

["Bruno Gimenes Pereti" <pereti () ump edu br>]

First, you don't need to run it on your firewall to monitor it all. Second,
yes you can run it on your firewall if you have enought memory, processor
and disk space.

I run snort in my firewall because I can monitor both side of it without
spending another machine for that.

Hope it helps,

Bruno.
