RE: Snort/Mysql/ACID/MS PWS help

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

d8da,

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your setup. Microsoft products
will handle Snort just fine. If you think your working with an inferior
product, then you are wrong. Snort screams on windows and the right
person and lock it down tight.

Your main problem is that you need Snort to run on a machine with a NIC,
and a fast DSL or Cable connection wouldn't hurt. First get to that
point then continue on. You can check out our site on how to setup Snort
on a Windows box and it will give you some help, but not for Windows 98
specifically (2000/XP).

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort/Mysql/ACID/MS PWS help

I know most people do not like Microsoft and the Windows product line,
however, this is what I have to work with to learn.

I have installed:

Win98 SE
WinPcap 3.0.a
snort 1.9.0-win32
mysql 3.23.52
ACID 0.9.6b21
php 4.2.3
adodb 190
phplot 4.4.6
DBTools manager
Microsoft personal Web Server 4.0 for Windows 98
a few plugins...

all on dial-up (currently no NIc installed, but coming...)

I have ran several tests of snort to get familiar with the snort. After
successfuly installing mysql, I ran snort and get output in the databse.
QUESTION 1: how do you post process this information to read it before
using ACID?

I tried several things to get ACID going, but no success there. Is there
any information I skipped in google as to how to run ACID and snort and
mysql using the simple MS personal web server? I also downloaded apache
for win32, but before I go installing all this other stuff to play with
my snort results, I want to know I did everything possible with what I
already have.

Help please... ( I am quickly becoming a linux baby, but for now it is
easier to learn in windows)
