Re: Logging - A easy way ?

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

If this is a non-production setup; one of the things I used to do to
generate alerts (a lot of alerts) was to enable all the rules. Load all the
individual rules files in a text editor, do a global search in all open
documents for "# alert" (less the outside quotes), and replace that with
"alert".

 

Make SURE to test the snort configuration using the "-T" (less the outside
quotes), just to make SURE there are no errors in any of the rules.

 

Best regards,

Michael...

Hi Jeremy,

I would like to thank your help. I have write a very simple rule for alert
ICMP. 
   
    alert icmp any any -> any any

Just it. So it sems that I do not have any rule for alerting UDP and ICMP.
What should I do ? Did I need to write my own rules ? Or I can find/download
some?
