Thanks for help! I read in source files that the socket is /var/log/snort/snort_alert instead of /dev/snort. But if I run Snort with -A unsock option I get: "/var/log/snort/snort_alert doesn't exist or isn't writable". Is it because of Snort error (I know it's experimental option)? Or maybe the socket snort_alert must be created by other program first? And one more question: is it possible to use two output systems? In example to use unix socket and normal file logging? If not, is it a good idea to run two snort processes (one to socket logging and one to file logging)?

Regards.

        Hello,

        You could write a little progie to read from a unix socket and
configure snort to write alerts to /dev/snort. Snort supports UNIX
socket loggin (experimental), with -A unsock.
        Maybe you could modify the spo_alert_unixsock.c or write another output
plugin to write to a socket. Also create a server to listen for
connections from this output plugin.
        Output the signature name, source ip and destination ip.

See ya!
