RE: Snort Config W2K

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

Steven,

 

Have you got this line in your snort.conf?

 

preprocessor portscan: $HOME_NET 4 3 d:/IDS/Snort/log/portscan.log

 

Make sure the path exists

 

What is your run line?

 

Are you running it with the '-A fast' ?

 

Have you tried running a vulnerability scanner on your network?

 

Have you got any data in the portscan.log file?

Cheers...

Hi,

 

I have Snort 2.0 running on W2K and works great.

 

However, any portscans detected and logged into the event log and not the
MySQL database. All the other alerts log into Mysql fine.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

 

Steve
