answer to #1
go to
vi snort.conf
go to the output data section
where you input username= password= host= # add sensor_name=falcon
you need to assign a sensor name
add 
sensor_name=condor  #or whatever you want your sensor to be named
also make sure your database permissions allow your user=snort
to connect as either the IP address of the remote mysql server
or if mysql server is localhost
make sure the database permissions are allow user=snort
to have full control rwx to the snort_log database or whatever you named your databases
 
respectfully,

Take a look at the suggestions in Question #B1 of the database FAQ:

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~rdanyliw/snort/snortdb/snortdb_faq.html

Roman

i have snort up and running, however i want it to log to a mysql db, it 
looks like i've configured everything properly, the database plugin has 
been configured, and it still insists on logging everything to a text file

when i run snort from the console everything appears fine except for the 
fact that it is logging to a text file

this is what i get when i run it on the console

database: compiled support for ( mysql )
database: configured to use mysql
database:          user = snort
database: password is set
database: database name = snort
database:          host =
database:   sensor name =
database:     sensor id = 1
database: schema version = 105
database: using the "log" facility

am i missing something in the snort.conf file

any help will be greatly appreciated

many thanks

Subject: [Snort-users] (no subject)

Hello all,

I need some help with setting up snort as a NIDS.

I have version 1.8.3 installed on a RH 6.2 machine attached to 2 stacked
3com hubs. If I port scan the snort host I get lots of log messages
related to the  port scan, I all so use typhon to scan the snort host with
a selection of exploits Scan and all seems fine.  I have all messages
going to syslog.
Now here is the issue. If I scan a host other than the snort host, snort
does not log anything.
Here is the command I used to start snort.
/usr/sbin/snort -dev -h 10.1.1.0/24 -l /var/log/snort -d -D -i eth0 -c
/etc/snort/snort.conf
Here is the out put of ifconfig:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:60:97:AE:0C:05
          inet addr:10.1.1.2  Bcast:10.1.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Detecting concurrent connections

Agreed, snort is not stateful in this respect.

Currently I'd see that this is the kind of thing that really has 2=20
solutions outside of using snort:

1) I'd suspect that it is possible for some stateful firewalls to implement=
=20
connect rate limiting (since they have to track connection states anyway).=
=20
This would really only slow them down unless it had some kind of "if they=20
try to exceed this threshold, shun that IP for an extended period of time"

2) It might be possible to set up some kind of perl-script log watcher that=
=20
looks for a large number of "user unknown" errors being generated from the=
=20
same originating IP and just add that IP to your /etc/mail/access file (or=
=20
whatever similar blocking file your mailserver uses).

Simultaneous state and time based analysis isn't really much the domain of=
=20
the current version of snort, which is really looking for intrusion=20
signatures, portscans (large number of different ports over time), and=20
anomolous syn packets. There are some stateful aspects, and some time=20
aspects, but none that analyze state and time currently.

There's been some talk in the past of modifying spp_portscan to create a=20
spp_synflood (looking for a large number of syn connections to the same=20
port in a given time window), but this doesn't really determine how many of=
=20
these connections are concurrent. Dig in the archives, someone once posted=
=20
a small patch to get that effect.

Consider upgrading.  1.8.6 is the most current, with 1.8.7beta6 in the works.
There are lots of little 'gotchas' that were fixed in the 1.8.x line.

3com hubs. If I port scan the snort host I get lots of log messages

Yep.  Sounds just like:

        http://www.snort.org/docs/faq.html#6.21


Here is the command I used to start snort.
/usr/sbin/snort -dev -h 10.1.1.0/24 -l /var/log/snort -d -D -i eth0 -c
/etc/snort/snort.conf

If you're running snort as a daemon, then you don't need '-d, -v, -e, and -d'.
-ved tells snort to write to STDOUT and to decode the packts on the fly.  -D
uncouples snort from STDOUT, but due to the other switches, snort is still
trying to decode and print those things--wasting CPU.

[...snip...]

You might also want to check what $HOME_NET and $EXTERNAL_NET are set to.  I
would suggest:
        var HOME_NET 10.1.1.0/24
        var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET
as a starting point--If they aren't like that already.

Oh, and try to give us a subject line next time.  Somefolks sort email based

Subject: [Snort-users] Configuration HELP!

Hello:

Configuration:  Snort WIN32 1.8 port on a Win2k Pro.


Running snort from the command line:

Snort -dev -c snort.conf

Below is a snippet of my config file.

I tried to set my variables so that only my PC would be considered "home"
and snort would treat all other packets as being external.  However, Snort
is not logging IDS alerts except for activity from my machine (var
HOME_NET).  If I scan Snort machine from a test machine it detects nothing.
As soon as I scan the test machine with my Snort machine, Snort lights up.
To alleviate this problem I placed my IP address in the preprocessor
portscan-ignorehosts section, that didn't work either.  It is still alarming
off of traffic sent from my PC.

I must have mis-configured something and was hoping someone could shed some
light on the situation.

I've also noticed that any trigger events that do happen to be logged, all
show traffic flow coming from my machine.

**] [1:615:3] SCAN SOCKS Proxy attempt [**]

The x.x.x.77 machine is the machine that was scanning me, but the traffic
flow shows my machine responding to the proxy scan, it did not create an
event showing a scan coming from the scanning machine. When I look at this,
it makes me think I was scanning x.x.x.77. Or, am I just misunderstanding
the log?

Thanks in advance for any help.

This indicates that the machine xx.xx.xx.243 contacted (or attempted to at 
least) a socks proxy server on the xx.xx.xx.77 machine.

THIS COULD BE NORMAL.

If your network is set up such that you use a proxy server for your 
internet connection.. well.. then yes.. you've detected something normal. 
This kind of connection is generally only of concern when someone outside 
your network tries to connect to a proxy server inside it.

Correct your definition of HOME_NET to only include machines under your 
control, and exclude those owned by your ISP to prevent such false alarms. 
Or configure EXTERNAL_NET to be !$HOME_NET instead of any.

Let me follow-up on this before I get similar responses. I don't think I was
very clear.
x.x.90.77 is a test machine I am using to scan my x.x.90.243 machine.  The
proxy scan is part of the scan I am using to emulate a PROXY scan attempt.
The problem is the scan was from x.x.x.77 but my logs only show the ACK of
my machine responding to x.x.x.77's request SYN port scan of my machine on
that port.  None of the other signatures for the port scan show up, in fact
the only reason this was logged was because of the traffic generated by
x.x.x.243.  I'm looking for someone to point out where I misconfigured my
config file so that it is detecting ONLY traffic generated by x.x.x.243 even
though I have it in my portscan-ignore section.  I guess it's two part;  why
is it not detecting any external scans, and why is it not pre-processing my
ignore variable.
Problem in a nutshell:
IDS Signatures when scans are run from x.x.x.243 are captured in Logs.  ALL
scans from various other tests machines against x.x.x.243 do not log.  I do
however see the traffic when I am running snort -dev -c snort.conf, so the
interface is grabbing the packets.  I think I mis-configured my config file
so it doesn't know how to properly alert me.  Or I'm just not making any
sense and the way I'm phrasing my problem isn't coming across correctly.  I
hope this made things a little clearer.

Ok, that clears things up a little bit.



First question what version of snort are you running?

You've said it's a 1.8 win32 port. Which one? If it is older than snort 
1.8.5, upgrade. Some members of the 1.8.x family had very significant bugs 
and I'd not even bother trying to determine if it's a config file problem 
if you're running one. (ie: strange bugs in stream processing, strange bugs 
in the frag reassembler)

http://www.snort.org/dl/binaries/

In general your config in your original email looks "good" at first glance, 
and that alert should not have occurred unless the proxy attempt rule you 
are using is any -> any instead of EXTERNAL_NET -> HOME_NET.

You could try this:

replace this:

var HOME_NET x.x.x.243/32

with

var HOME_NET [x.x.x.243/32]

I know you should only need the braces for multi-IP cases, but I always use 
them myself. I doubt it will fix it, but won't take long to try.

Steve,
 
That won't work. You are going to have to use a 3rd party Syslog Server
like Kiwi Syslog Daemon which will do everything you need, including
emailing alerts, but not freeware.
 
If you find anything else on the freeware side, could you let me know? I
have a list of people looking for a freeware utility for emailing alerts
on Windows.

Hi,
 
I am using snort 1.8.6 on W2K.
 
I wish to log to the mysql database, but also log to a syslog server
using the commands below;
 
output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT host=X.X.X.X
output database: alert, mysql, user=username dbname=database

When I run snort, I get a warning message stating "Unrecognized syslog

Has anyone successfully got snort to syslog to a remote syslog server?
If so, can you let me know how you did it?
 
Also, has anyone got anything like Swatch on a W32 machine to report
from Syslog Files?
 
Thanks
