Re: snort and squid

[Joel Esler <joel.esler () sourcefire com>]

You have two options.  Correlate the events with the logs from your  
Squid proxy, or move the Snort sensor inside the proxy.

Sometimes (and right now I can't remember if Squid does it) it will  
add a header to the http that says "X-Forwarded-For" or similar that  
will have the IP of the actual client.  However, like I said, I can't  
remember if Squid does that for you, and that would be the only way  
that you can see the IP behind the proxy.
