Re: BPF Filters

["Turnbough, Bradley E." <bturnbough () belcan com>]

Changing -f to -F and also updating the BPF to use 'not' instead of '!' works.

Thanks Guys.

Quote it:

"not (src net 192.168.10.0/24 and dst port 22)"

Safe some hassle and lose as many special characters as you can.  You
can test with:

/usr/sbin/snort -i em1 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort-em1.conf
/usr/sbin/snort -i em1 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort-em1.conf
"not (src net 192.168.10.0/24 and dst port 22)"
