  • i cant download the rules file :(

  • @diyothelilundergo You need to install winpcap

  • Nice video! Can i generate packets via snort so i can create an TCP/UDP/SYN/ACK/.. stream to test my switch configurations and bottlenecks ? Creating lots of bandwidth not just a ping repeat. That would be great! Do you prefer Windows or Linux for this program. Anyone ?

  • I have a problem...with registry key:

    What is that, please explain

  • guys just build up a standalone router based on pfSense and use the SNORT package there.

  • Not bad, but you need to do a better job of explaining WHY you are doing some things. For instance you are changing many parts of the config, but you dont explain what they do or how you know to change them. (Truthfully, you would think the windows binaries would replace the unix paths in the config....)

  • Thank you for the tutorial, youhakim .

    It was quick and efficient.

    Any plans on showing this on Win7 64 bit? I suppose the changes in the snort.conf file are the same.?

  • Youhakim, I downloaded snort-2.9.0.5 along with the 2.9.0.5 rules. snort.conf file looks a little different than your version but when I make the changes you recommended, I get fatal errors in the normalization area-line 231. Any help/advice/recommendations would be appreciated. BTW, I did run snort sucessfully just running snort -i 2

    Great Video!

  • youhakim, could you also do one for installation of Snort on a Vista machine?

  • Thanks for your help!
