I cannot afford to buy any books right now - I got totally burned by
my most recent client who owes me money - I hate it when that
happens,  but with all this outsourcing binge going on,  I have
pretty scant choices for jobs these days.   Do you know if there are
any web based references showing the overall structure of a snort
plugin...

Justin was suggesting you check the book out from your local library.
The link he pasted will tell you where the closest library is with the
book available.


Is there a Python wrapper for a plugin...  boy - now that would be
most useful....   Do these plugins deploy "callbacks" or are
there special method with exact names I have to "subclass"?

Try this link to simplify the process.

I've looked at some of these plugins,  and they are so completely
different from each other (in the way they were written),  but I see
little to no commonality between them,  other then the spo_
prefix for the plugin file names...

What you seek is there. Look at templates/* and src/plugbase.*


Is it possible to write a Python based plugin "wrapper" that deploys
common "callbacks" into Python?

Sure. Why?

Check here for a perl detection plugin for an older release of snort.

Oviously,  I'm going to want to deply threads for this....  I think!!!
I just haven't had this experience yet,  and hope to hook up with
someone on this mailing list working on similar types of things
so we can share info.

I humbly suggest that you reconsider.


My project is important to me, because it's going to contribute to
the detection and eradication of botnets.

I wish you the best in that pursuit. Care to share more detail? I'm
fairly certain there are better ways of achieving what you want.
