I would say yes. That is a good starting point. However you may need to
write your own rules as well for some specific things that you want to
monitor. Remember, pre-defined rules don't do "everything".

Subject: [Snort-users] philosophical question


I've just installed snort and everything seems to work fine. Too fine, I
would say: my sensor is informing of many alerts that aren't so, I mean,
there are lots of false positives that I'm supposed to tune. That's my
question: what does tuning mean? The way I see it is that I have to look
at the alerts and change some things in the rules that triggered those
alerts, so they won't bother me again. Is that a good point of view?
Thank you.
