I need to know where exactly snort is placed in a switched network. Is it setup with port mirroring or in such a way that its a default gateway and all traffic passes through?
Well... It depends. You might configure it either way. It all depends upon your network and how/what you want to do with snort.
Someone told me snort can drop packets based on the rules but i thought it just logged packets when they satisy rules as opposed to dropping them. I have set it up with the firewall port mirroring to snort, is this correct
