FW: SNORT Newbie

[joel () cybrus net]

Ok, so that means that they were successful in gaining access to my
computer?  Is there anyway to check if my firewall has been corrupted or if
it's just faulty?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Joel

Joel -
Snort uses class-types in it's rules to help classify attacks (alerts).
Normally these are defined in the classification.config file used by Snort.
Not sure how it's set up w/ Kerio.
There are several different class-types - 'successful-user' means that
according to the rule that was triggered, user privileges were gained in the
attack.

Hope that helps -

- Adam

Hi,

I'm a total and complete newbie to Snort.  I know your level of knowledge is
WAY over my head.  But I've got a concern and I'm hoping you can help
explain something to me

I use Kerio Firewall w/ AVG anti-virus on my computer.  It appears that
Kerio uses Snort to prevent intrusions or something like that.

When I click on "Intrusions" within the Kerio program, and then click on the
details of the "High Priority Intrusions" and the "IDS details" window comes
up listing "Attacks" and "Class".  IE

Attack                                  Class
BACKDOOR Trojan active Whackjob successful-user


It's a rather long list, with most of the trojans being classed as
"successful-user".  What is this telling me?

Regards,
Joel
