Re: Further Investigation Needed: FILE-FLASH Action InitArray stack overflow attempt

[Jeremy Hoel <jthoel () gmail com>]

There is no way to capture data before the event with snort.  It's
highly recommend that you also run some kind of network capture
software to capture all packets (or at least a good subset of them) so
you can go back and pull the relevant data out when you need to look
at something.

Snort.org has a tool called daemonlogger
(http://www.snort.org/snort-downloads/additional-downloads#daemonlogger)
and you can also use cxtracker (http://gamelinux.github.io/cxtracker/)
with other tools like openfpc (http://www.openfpc.org/).

Also check out Security Onion
(https://code.google.com/p/security-onion/) for an all in one rolled
up solution.  With a little emphisis on this -
