Re: snort 2972 - not working, need help

Hello,

The first thing I would check is that you actually see traffic on that interface.

How is traffic getting to snort? If you aren’t inline with the traffic then your snort machine needs to be on a tap or 
have the traffic spanned to it.

You can also play a pcap back into snort as a quick test. If you get events from the pcap but not from network traffic 
then you need to recheck your network setup.

Hope this helps.

Hell Guys,

Hope you are all doing fine.

I was able to make snort 2970 work in windows 7, due to some reason, we had freeze this project and we are now again 
restarting it.

I was able to update snort to 2972 without error

Then I tried placing this rule in snort.rules file for testing purpose

alert tcp $HOME_NET any <> $EXTERNAL_NET any (msg:"NET - ACTIVITY-YAHOO"; classtype:unknown; sid:1000002; rev:1;)
alert icmp $HOME_NET any <> $EXTERNAL_NET any (msg:"PING - ACTIVITY"; classtype:unknown; sid:1000000; rev:1;)

Then i run snort -c c:\path\to\dir\snort.conf -l c:\path\to\snort\log -i4

and it run normally ("commencing packet processing" at the end)

Tried generating icmp(ping) traffic, but i cannot see any alert generated from my alert log file.

Sorry for the grammar, hoping for your usual support

Thank you and Best regards,

Eugene
