Re: Snort and acidcenter

This is very interesting.  I use a netgear switch for my wan and lan.   When 
someone surfs a porn site in my house, I see it come up on ACID.  I do not 
get the url, I just get the IP address.  Snort is set on eth0 which is the 
DMZ port on my router.  I see all traffic that comes through my switch and 
router.  Maybe I am not understanding the difference and why snort would care 
or not see activity on a switched network if it was set that way.
