Re: Lets talk about ....

[Jeremy Hoel <jthoel () gmail com>]

Honestly.. instead of going back and forth over and over and saying
that the tools don't work, when everyone else here knows they do you
should probably install security onion, see hows it works, including
the settings,  options, integration's with databases and all that, see
that it does work, and then use it to figure out why your system isn't
working. Plus they you can try changes on a known good working system
and see how they effect things and then integrate them into whatever
scripts you keep talking about using.

The tools work and it's not nearly as hard as you are making it.

And BTW - criticizing the people that write the tools, that's probably
not going to help your case.
