Re: Snort logging to encrypted MySQL (ssl) server?

["jon baer" <security () jonbaer net>]

you could try to install ssh on the server/client and tunnel the traffic ...

ssh -L 3306:server.com:3306 user () server com

then change your snort.conf to point to localhost ... i think the problem is
just that the plugin does not handle ssl correctly.
