Re: snort.conf: HOME_NET value for AWS EC2 instance

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

Probably 172.31.39.0/24 (or that hosts specific IP if its the only machine you are worried about).

Thanks Al. My EC2 instance internal IP is inet addr:172.31.39.xxx. Should I in the case use 
172.31.0.1/12<http://172.31.0.1/12> as the HOME_NET?

Thanks,
Paul

But that it all depends on your addressing scheme and the resources you are trying to protect.

For Snort deployed on an AWS EC2, what value should be for HOME_NET  the snort.conf configuration?

Thanks,
