Hello Lena, What are you getting in the snort exit stats? Are you sure that traffic is hitting the sniffing interface? Is the interface in promiscuous mode? Can you capture traffic off of that same interface with say tcpdump/wireshark running? Hope this helps!

I just recently downloaded and installed it on Windows 2008 box. I got the WinPcap and rules installed per instructions found on the internet. I also configured the snort.conf file to use Snort as IDS. Testing results come back without any errors. However, when I execute snort.exe -i1 -s -l C:\snort\log\ -c C:\Snort\etc\snort.conf I get no log created and the cmd prompt is stuck at Commencing Packet Processing [cid:image001.png@01D04A08.D3AA94F0] I also chose Interface 1 because of my configuration. 1 and 2 have no IP and 3 is my management interface with IP settings assigned. [cid:image002.png@01D04A08.D3AA94F0] What am I doing wrong? Oh, also, in the config file I left 'any' for the HOME_NET address. Thank you!
