| Subject: | [Snort-users] Snort not catching anything |
|---|---|
| Date: | Mon, 6 Nov 2006 12:01:33 -0500 |
Hey all,
I finished installing snort a couple of days ago, and have yet to receive any alerts in BASE. From all appearances, everything appears to be working, I'm just not getting anything out of it (I've run attacks on the machine to test it).
To give a little background, I'm running FC6 on a machine behind a Linksys router (WRT54G), which is then connected to a cable modem. I more or less followed the FC6 LAMP tutorial on howtoforge without the DNS or ISPConfig stuff [http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_a_lamp_system_with_fedora_core_6] and added on the IDS with BASE and Snort tutorial [ http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion_detection_base_snort]. I am using the latest registered users rules package, and added on the init.d script from the "Snort, Apache, SSL, PHP, MySQL, and BASE Install on CentOS 4, RHEL 4 or Fedora Core – with NTOP" tutorial off the snort site [ http://www.snort.org/docs/setup_guides/Snort_Base_Minimal.pdf]. I have IPTables turned off since I have a few selected ports being forwarded through my router.
When snort starts, I don't receive any errors, and the logs are empty as well. This is my output from running "snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf"
Any help would be appreciated.
