Re: Listening openVPN

When testing new listening setups, I use tcpdump to check what traffic  
I'm seeing.  It uses the same underlying library that snort uses, and  
provides an immediate view of the traffic.

Hello everybody,


After googling around, I can'f find any answer to my question.


Is it possible to configure snort to listen on the virtual network
adapter of OpenVPN (tap0) ?


I have tried to configure snort to do this, but apparently this fail:


var HOME_NET [10.10.1.0/24,192.168.0.0/24]


10.10.1/24 is the vpn network address, while 192.168.0.x is the  
physical
network.


I use nmap to start a portscan, and the result is accurate on both
interfaces. However, the only logs from Snort I have are coming from  
the
physical network interface 192.168.0.0/24,


Do I have to do something special to authorise snort to listen this
virtual interface ?

Thanks.
