Are you bridging VLANs (in IPS mode) or 2 physical interfaces?  I thought about trying to use it to bridge 2 VLANs with a virtual NIC in each one, but in the end bought a solid state PC and opted for that out of fear of the unknown (;

Hi!

>> I' am trying to find a way to set snort as IPS in a VM. I cant on host because its windows and i think snort doesn't work as IPS on windows. Suggestions please

we have made so:

1.      VM CentOS7 at ESXI, with 3 eth, 2 in L2 in bridge and 1 L3 - management

2.      Snort + DAQ nfq + Aanval.

3.      Get working IPS.

 

Best regards,

This document doesn’t seem to exist either via the link or via the Snort website documentation. Amazon AWS says expired. 

Thanks

It should be on in the documents sections of Snort's website, under Snort Deployment Guides, Snort IPS tutorial. The title I posted earlier was the full tittle of the document.

When I write the command "snort -Q --daq nfq --daq-mode inline --daq-var
queue=0 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -A Console -l /var/log/snort/"
I get this message :
"HttpInspectConfigCheck() default server configuration not specified
Fatal Error, Quitting.."
What is the problem? Could you help me?
