I need a little help. I have Snort 2.0 and SnortCenter 1.0 w/ snort agent. I setup using the enterprise install guide on the snortcenter website. Problem is after importing the rules from the net and pushing them to the agent when I reload I get: ERROR: ERROR /etc/snort/rules/snort.eth0.conf (97): Bad arguments to byte_test:
[...snip...]
Anyone know how to fix this?
Yep. Ditch Snortcenter. It's b0rken. But don't take my word for it, make your own conclusion [0].
Also I have a question, does anyone know of a good firewall for *Nix & windows that can use a central database across multiple servers? Maybie even one that plugs in with Snort for auto blocking?
Note: There are some serious inherent dangers with firewalls and autoblocking. Again, make your own conclusion [1]. If you really, really have to have an autoblock feature, go check out SnortSam [2]. It works smartly and safely to send rule updates to firewalls. Supports quite a few of them. Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
