Re: Win32 Port of Snort

["Chris Reid" <Chris.Reid () CodeCraftConsultants com>]

I've added support for proper Win32 services in snort 1.9 (without any
dependency on srvany, etc).  This has already been added to CVS (as of
mid-March 2002).  Michael Steele is in the final stages of back-porting this
functionality to 1.8.  I'm not sure about when/if he plans on releasing this
functionality -- you'd have to check with him.

The '-l' switch is not used for the Win32 service in snort 1.9.  Other
command-line parameters are used instead.  Get the 1.9 source code from CVS
to see this functionality.

Not sure about 1, but as far as 2 is concerned, just deactivate (un-check)
TCP/IP on your monitoring interface within the network connection
properties.

Subject: [Snort-users] Win32 Port of Snort





I'm in the process of comparing the functionality of Snort for Win32 (on
Windows 2000) with the versions I've been running on Linux for some time.
I'm finding Snort on Win32 almost useable with a few exceptions (of course,
I'm just getting started...):

My two big questions are:

1)  Is the ability to run as a service lost in the current version?  In the
faq, this has been added as of snort-1.6.3-patch2.  But the '-I' switch is
now allocated to a different function.  (Yes, I know about the 'srvany.exe'
option.  I've not had great experiences with srvany, and would like to
avoid it).

2)  Is there an option to forego the IP address on a Windows 2000
interface?  I'd like to avoid having my promiscuous mode adapter being
addressable.


Thanks in advance...
