RES: sending alerts by email / active response Win2K system [RMC-J7FLJI4]

["Romulo M. Cholewa" <rmc () rmc eti br>]

Hi Michael,
 
That's good news. With Syslog Daemon, I can configure it to submit the snort alert log to the system event log. Then, I 
can use an app like EventWatchNT, to send specific alerts to an email address.
 
You can find EventWatchNT here:

When I get to the lab I'll test it. Thanks!

        Romulo, 

        You will need something like Syslog Daemon and run the alerts through that. 
        It has an option of emailing on certain triggers. If you find a free tool 
        that works, please let us windows folks know. The alerts can be sent to the 
        Event Viewer, application log in Windows and if you can find something to 
        parse that file and alert, that would be great.

        Hi All, 

        Sorry about these bunch of newbie questions. I'm in the path of evaluating 
        snort, and it's being used on Windows 2000 Server. Everything is running 
        really smooth. I had a BSOD, but I think it's related to the packet capture 
        driver version. 

        I would like to ask experienced snort users, if there are any ways of 
        emailing some alerts (maybe a perl script of some sort that would parse the 
        alert.ids file and send emails if it finds a specific alert). Also if there 
        are any ways of automating the process of filtering out dynamically some 
        kinds of attacks. I already know that it will not be easy with Windows 2000, 
        but maybe snort can be used together with some firewall / filtering product 
        available. Currently using Zone Alarm Pro. 

        If these things are possible, I would like to thank in advance if someone 
        could point me to the right direction. 

        Thanks again, 

        Romulo M. Cholewa
