Snort compiled for BeOS BONE. Snort is "The Open Source Network Intrusion Detection System".
Note that i have three versions here to download. One has PostgreSQL database support compiled in ("full version"),one is a basic compile ("standard version"), and one has Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server support compiled in.
There are three main modes in which Snort can be configured:
- sniffer,
- packet logger,
- and network intrusion detection system.
Sniffer mode simply reads the packets off of the network and displays them for you in a continuous stream on the console.
Packet logger mode logs the packets to the disk.
Network intrusion detection mode is the most complex and configurable configuration, allowing Snort to analyze network traffic for matches against a user defined rule set and perform several actions based upon what it sees.
I included the FAQ but you can read it here. I really recommend having a read of it.
Please note i didn't write this, just compiled it. Please email me any bugs. I shall forward my patches to the Snort people for inclusion so it compiles "out of the box". More info on Snort is over at www.snort.org
Make sure you have a look at the snort.conf file in /boot/beos/etc.
I have text in RED in this file which you will need to take action on.
Documentation is now in /boot/home/config/doc
Rule files are now in /boot/home/config/etc/snort2
Remember BONE is needed for this.
Enjoy!
