Re: real-time alerting and rule to monitor only specific traffic

["Al Lewis (allewi)" <allewi () cisco com>]

You can filter that out by applying a bpf filter to the end of your command. Below I filtered out port 80 traffic. 
Without the filter I get alerts but with the filter I don’t even though the rule is “any to any” inside the conf file.

For the email alerts you can try sending messages to syslog and then emailing from there. Maybe someone else can chime 
in and help out with that.



Hope this helps!

Subject: [Snort-users] real-time alerting and rule to monitor only specific traffic


​Hello,



How can I only monitor TCP traffic that is not on port 80 or 443 or on our DMZ IP address? And also, can someone please 
provide me with instructions on how to setup real-time (email) alerting in Snort on Windows server box.

So, if 'bad' TCP traffic comes through, I would like to get an email right a way letting me know.





Thank you,



Lena Okanovic
