RE: stealth interface

[Matt Yackley <Matt.Yackley () perkinswill com>]

May be a stupid question but is the interface up? 

I've setup several Redhat 7.x Snort boxes with IPless NICs and they have
always worked fine, as long as I bring up the NIC before starting Snort.
Not sure if this applies much to BSD, but I leave the NIC for Snort
unconfigured and it does not automatically start, first step in launching
snort is to do an ifconfig ethx up.

HTH

I had the same problem using Red Hat 7.*.  I don't know about BSD.  If I 
configured the interface with no ip address, snort saw nothing.  If I gave 
it an address of 0.0.0.0 and specified what interface snort should listen 
on -- it would work.

Hope this helps....
