What is the network adapter on the machine you are running Snort on and
listening to plugged into? A switch, hub, network tap?

Subject: [Snort-users] first time user, noob question

Hi all,

I'm a beginner but i'm interested in intrusion prevention, and i just
recently installed Snort on Windows.
I didn't make any configuration modification, just started sniffing using
"snort -v". It was interesting that all i see was UDP traffic.
Where are all the TCP and ICMP packets?

I know this question sounds stupid so it would be better if i just start
reading some documentations and tutorials, so could you give me some helpful
links? The official website wasn't too helpful.

Thanks,
Adam Szabo
