Hi All,

I am new to Snort and this is my first mail to this list so please bear with
me.

First - I have been trying hard for last few days to get csv plug-in work
for me but it has not. I am on Fedora Core 7 and running Snort 2.8.1 the
latest version. I am running Snort with the following command:

snort -A console -i lo -c test.conf  (please see the output of running this
command at the bottom of this mail)

I have enabled only one rules file i.e. local.rules and have some test rules
in it.

the entry for my csv output plug-in in the test.conf file is

output alert_CSV: /var/log/alert.csv default

Afterwards I generate some attack traffic and get some alerts on the
console. (please see the output at the end of this mail).

The problem is that the alert.csv is never created!!!

I have tried using full mode, -h flag and few other tricks but nothing is
working

Perhaps it is because command line options override the config file.


Please note that I have not installed barnyard and assume that it is not a
must for csv module to work.

My second question is the following:

If I am lucky enough to configure the csv module correctly with the help of
you gurus, then how can I extend this module to add more details about the
packet payload to the csv output ?

I have posted similar messages on Snort forum without any response. Any help
is appreciated.

You will have to write the code to make packet data available in the csv.
