El dom, 19 de 12 de 2004 a las 16:15, Klemen Mihevc escribiC3:now i have a problem couse every packet is logged (and logs are huge) even if it's only about 1k big and it is product of outside scan of server not actual connection to it. Is there anyway to log only first and last package from 1 ip and only if data transfer is bigger then let's say 5k? Or maybe anyother way to log that connections? I also tryed with chaosreader & tcpdump but this method is too much cpu & ram consuming and i also tried with iptable but again with same problem (every package is logged). I relay wanna use snort because i can use mysql & acid for statistic...
How about using SanCP for the job? The output can easily be imported to a database and it doesn't log every packet (unless you ask for it). Another solution is to use Argus, or use stream4's session logging... I know how you feel, you like snort and are comfortable using it. But Snort is not a silver bullet - nothing is. You locate and use the best tool for the job, and it may or may not be something you already know. I know that I spend a considerable amount of time learning about new tools and techniques, and yet I've much left to learn (which why I like InfoSec in the first place - you never get the time to become bored)....
