Tal, Have you confirmed that this is indeed a problem with wincap on wintel SMP? Although you stated you werent intending to slander Snort, it kinda sounded like that in the latter parts of your email. I havent personally used Snort on anything but Linux, be rest assured it works well, and at least in Linux, it supports SMP just fine (I run it on a Quad Xeon box) Honestly if you are set on running a lightweight IDS on Win32, and dont want to buy a commercial product, I dont what other product you can use. Now might be a good time to setup a nice Linux box. Eric Joe
Subject: [Snort-users] I find it odd that this product would not be supported for SMP win2k machines I am working with SNORT with my win2k for few weeks now, only realizing it is not working on SMP machines with windows installments few days ago. I was reading a lot of good reviews of this open source and I even stumbled over a comparative analysis with the other tools currently available on the market. I must say that although the problem originate from the winpcap usage and not from any SNORT specific code, this problem raise a big question mark as for the validity of using SNORT for windows (random blue screens or forcing the usage of only one processor are not acceptable solutions imho). I am not trying to criticize SNORT nor do I intend to slander it. I am just stating my disbelief that a product which for many seems a standard would not support SMP with windows. Do you guys have any plans for replacing the winpcap library? Help in fixing the winpcap SMP problems? Support any other packet capturing library? Thank you in advance. Tal Beno.
