Actually, along those lines, there is a very easy way to it... (Erek not
crack head).

If you have more patience... Set up RRDTool to monitor the front and back
sides... And use RRDs math to calculate the difference.  I think it's
possible to do this with MRTG, but have never tried.  I KNOW it's possible
with RRD, because we currently create those types of graphs.   Of course, it
doesn't actually tell us how much traffic were actual attacks that snort
alerted... But just knowing how much data our firewalls block is a better
indicator of what you call 'wasted' bandwidth.

      Does anyone know of an "add-on" or PERL script that can do some 
"ciphering" for me and tell me what percentage of my bandwidth is 
generating alerts with SNORT?  I have a snort server set-up on a 
SPANNED 100 MBS/Full-Duplex port that feeds the internal LAN of a 
large US Military installation.  I absolutely LOVE SNORT, but now that 
I see all of the crazy stuff being thrown at us via the Net, I was 
wondering if there was a way to show what percentage of our bandwidth 
is literally being wasted by the amount of cmd.exe, code red, SQL Worm 
1433 stuff etc. etc. that is coming in here and "banging" my 
firewalls.  THANKS!!

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is to use MRTG on your router and
firewall.  Using that, measure the amount of incoming traffic from the
router. Then measure the amount of traffic that "leaves" your firewall--If
it goes thru your firewall, it should be legitimate traffic, right?
Subtract number one from number two, and you should have a rough idea of how
much 'wasted' bandwith you have.

But of course, I haven't had my coffee yet--So I could be entirely
crackheaded.  :)

I think it would be easier to do a fresh new install :-)
Do you know if mysql db schema should be upgraded for 1.8.6?

Here's the problem. I've got alerts being logged 
with timestamps later than the current time (approx. 
4 hours into the future). I'm running ntpd on all 
three servers. I've run the "date" command on all 
three servers to visually verify the proper date 
and time is set on all three servers. I've cranked 
up "#snort -v" then "ctrl-c" and the timestamps are 
correct on standard out.

Here's some server specific info...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm running a.....
LINUX RH 7.2 NIDS sensor running
Snort Version 1.8.6 (Build 105)

that is writing alerts to a.....
LINUX RH 7.2 mysql server
VERSION 3.23.49a

that is serving data to a.....
LINUX RH 7.2 apache server
version 1.3.22
PHP 4.2.0
gd-1.8.4
adodb Library for PHP4
phplot-4.4.6
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here's a couple of query results to illustrate my problem.
Notice the timestamps...
======================================================

The now time is "2002-05-29 14:27:30" but

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hugo et al,
I would like to apologize for my previous post.  I had a really bad day and
took it out on you and this list.  That was bad form indeed.  So please
accept my apologies.  While I think that some users on this list may have
partially agreed with my post I don't think the way I worded it was
warranted.  Also you were right -- there are no references to upgrading in
the documentation that I pointed you at (as far as I know).  The point I was
trying to make was that if you did sit down and read through those things as
well as the list archives you might be able to put together a more
meaningful post.  Again my apologies.

Adam

Do you get any error messages of snort in syslog? I and of course a lot of
others run more than 2 sensors logging into a single mysql database and ACID
works very well.

Please also post infos about plattform, program versions, configs etc. so we
can help you out.

One hint may be: Did you define the second sensor on the db? This is what I
often forget and get "Access denied" on the sensor's syslog.

So long,
Sandro


Two sensors one acid database. Anyone done it? Can't connect 
2nd sensor to
remote database.

Thanks,
John Maestrale,SSCP
