Hi,

I have decided to "goback" a few steps. I ran:

/usr/local/bin/snort -D -i eth1 -h 192.168.1.0/24 -u snort -g snort -l /tmp/log/log.log -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

Then:

tail -f /tmp/log/log.log

I did not saw anything. (And I did not got any UDP traffic on BASE GUI)

But if I ran: /usr/local/bin/snort -i eth1 -h 192.168.1.0/24 -u snort -g snort -l /tmp/log/log.log -c 
/etc/snort/snort.conf (without -D (daemon option). 

I got this output (snip to smooth):

=================================

Facts/Points:

    Acording with it I have UDP traffic.    If I run a port scan against Snort, Snort detects it as you can see ( 
Alerts: 10 )    As far as I know I'm not using BPF
I really don't know what is happening. 

Additional info: tcpdump -i eth0 -nn udp show a lot of packages.

Sorry I did not understood it "If you run a tcpdump across the interface, does it look 'firehose-y' to 
you? If you pull that output into Wireshark, how does it look?"

I've seen similar behavior when using a spanport on a core switch that wasn't properly configured and/or the interface 
isn't in promiscuous mode. 
If you run a tcpdump across the interface, does it look 'firehose-y' to you? If you pull that output into Wireshark, 
how does it look?

I have deployed a Snort with BASE as a GUI. I have attached the BASE Main screen on this e-mail. If you cant see this 
jpg I have also upload to this site http://servicos.cafecomchips.com.br/Novo/Upload/Exibir_Foto.php?foto=b34243fef3.png

My doubt is  about something in base main screen. As you can see all my traffic is TCP, I haven't any alerts for port 
scanner. Or even I don't have any UDP traffic what is very stranger since there are DNS query going out the interface 
that snort is listenning.

What can explaint it?

Further more I have ran port scanner against this snort and it seems that it did not catch it*

*This snort was deployed on a Firewall machine and I ran the port scanner in the same interface that snort is 
listenning, from a outside machine.
