Hello Team,

Please help me on this. I am close to completing my installation of
snort. I can
feel it. Also if someone can tell me the relevance of Barnyard2.
Everyone seems
to be discussing about this. How does it help me. Does it help me
interpret the
logs of snort?

as discussed in this thread -> Snortsam patch for 2.9.3.1 <- as a thread
drift
instigated by me, barnyard2 takes the output from snort and converts it to
numerous other output formats so that snort can perform the busy job of
sniffing
the traffic and not having to worry about getting the output to the
destination... snort writes the files that barnyard2 reads... then
barnyard2
handles getting the data into databases or feeding it to front ends...
barnyard2
can take all the time it needs while snort keeps on snorting and logging
without
slowing down...

      snort -> by2_input_files -> by2 -> database

as for installing a database and creating the tables, install mysql and
barnyard2... in the barnyard2 installation stuff, there will be something
describe and possibly even create the tables you will need... from there,
you
can then choose what front end you want to use to peruse the data
generated...

personally, i'm this || close to taking the plunge and seeing what i can
break
in the closed environment we use over here ;)
