RE: Winsnort help needed!

Thanks for the help.

Do you know that I have only one master sensor and do
I need sensor_name= in the snort.conf?

Another question, I need to monitor one class C
network, var home_net should be 10.1.10.0/24 instead
of 10.1.10.1/24, right?

Welcome any help!

Peter

I have three sensors and one admin interface.
Maybe you want to try the Apache version, I just
installed it a little
while ago
with Winsnort instructions and it worked like a
charm, even Oinkmaster.
One thing though. In their instructions, you must be
exact!  If they say
to use
"'s, you nee0d them or it will not work.

Thanks for your help.  Stll no luck for me after I
put
port number in.

BTW, do you have slave sensor?  I have only one
master
sensor and do I need sensor_name=WebZone(hostname)in
snort.conf?

Quite frustrated!

Tnanks,

Peter

I use Apache/MySQL on my Win2003 and this works

me:

You might need to specify the PORT (default is
3306)
for MySQL

Here is my output in snort.conf:

output database: alert, mysql, user=snort
password=XxXxXxXx dbname=snort
host=127.0.0.1 port=3306 sensor_name=WebZone

Here is my base config in base.conf:

$alert_dbname   = "snort";
$alert_host     = "localhost";
$alert_port     = "3306";
$alert_user     = "base";
$alert_password = "baseXXXX";

/* Archive DB connection parameters */
$archive_exists   = 1; # Set this to 1 if you have
an archive DB
$archive_dbname   = "archive";
$archive_host     = "localhost";
$archive_port     = "3306";
$archive_user     = "base";
$archive_password = "baseXXXX";

Please see below the snort.conf and base config:

Here is the snort.conf output config:


# database: log to a variety of databases
# ---------------------------------------
# See the README.database file for more
information
about configuring
# and using this plugin.
#
# output database: log, mysql, user=root
password=test dbname=db
host=localhost # output database: alert,
postgresql, user=snort
dbname=snort # output database: log, odbc,
user=snort dbname=snort #
output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort
user=snort
password=test
output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort

password=10gg3r
output database: alert, mssql, dbname=snort
user=snort password=10gg3r #
output database: log, oracle, dbname=snort
user=snort password=test


Here is the base output config:


 *  output plugin configuration.
 */
$alert_dbname   = "snort";
$alert_host     = "localhost";
$alert_port     = "";
$alert_user     = "base";
$alert_password = "111111";

/* Archive DB connection parameters */
$archive_dbname   = "archive";
$archive_host     = "localhost";
$archive_port     = "";
$archive_user     = "base";
$archive_password = "111111";

Let me know what I did wrong.  I am so
overwhelming
with it.

Thanks,

Peter

Bruce,

Thanks for the reply.

Did you set up IIS with the Console virtual
directory and set
base_main.php as the only Default Document?


YES.

I really do not know what's wrong.  I followed
the
exact steps as the Guide says.

If I do not have the slave sensors, I took out
the

sensor_name=HOSTNAME in snort.conf.  Is this
right?

Thanks for the help and hope that anyone can
point
me
to the right direction.

Peter
