What output module are you running for logging? I just ran a test here with the same settings and nmap'd a box and got a populated portscan.log file.

Hi All,

 

Please can someone point me in the right direction – I have installed snort 2.3.0 and it is working perfectly – except for the portscanning portion. I have enabled the sfportscanner preprocessor, but the logfile never gets any data written to it. The alert file logs all the IDS events, but I get no sfportscans, even if I use nmap to scan the box. My sfportscanner config is as follows:

 

preprocessor sfportscan: proto  { all } \

                         scan_type { all } \

                         memcap { 10000000 } \

                         sense_level { medium } \

                         logfile { /var/log/snort/portscan.log }

 

Thanks in advance

 

Dominic.
