Re: Snort-users Digest, Vol 106, Issue 16

[Anthony Gallina <anthonygallina1 () gmail com>]

Hello I am a newbie to snort. I am on a Ubuntu 14.04 system and trying to
get Snort, Barnyard2, Pulledpork, BASE to work. It looks like snort is out
putting u2 files that look like binary code. Pulled pork is pulling new
rules. BASE is up but not showing any traffic. But it doesn’t seem like
barnyard2 is logging to my MySQL that is running local on Apache 2. Is it
possible to get assistance with this? Or should I just lurk for a while and
see if I can figure out whats going on? And sorry to mix my introduction
with a problem : (
