I am currently using snort-2.9.3.1 outputting unified2 log format and using barnyard2-1.9 to process the alerts and send them to both syslog and a database. In some cases I have multiple instances of. To install Snort (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell: C: > choco install snort --version 2.9.9.0 To upgrade Snort (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell.
Snort is a free lightweight network intrusion detection system(NIDS). The following steps are what I installed Snort 2.9.2.2 on my CentOS 5.8 server.
Install CentOS 5.8 (X8664) When I installed the operating system, I installed MySQL, HTTP, Development Tools and Development Libararies, and then update it the latest. Thanks for this post.
I’m receiving problems when doing the actual snort source configuration. When I try what you posted –./configure –with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib64/mysql/ –enable-dynamicplugin –enable-zlib –enable-ipv6 –enable-sourcefire I get this error: configure: error: invalid variable name: `–with-mysql-libraries’ If I try with 2 dashes on the arguments, and use –with-mysql instead of –with-mysql-libraries, like this:./configure –with-mysql=/usr/lib64/mysql/ –-enable-ipv6 -–enable-sourcefire But I get this error: configure: error: unrecognized option: `-–enable-dynamicplugin’. Chris, If your using the last current snort that you will get an error when configuring it: root@test01 snort-2.9.4#./configure –with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib64/mysql/ -enable-dynamicplugin -enable-zlib -enable-sourcefire configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: –with-mysql-libraries So remove the –with-mysql-libraries and go on. Barnyard2 is saying that mysql support it missing: Jan 15 08:56:50 dh128 barnyard229300: database: ‘mysql’ support is not compiled into this build of snort So you have build (configure.–with-msyql-li.; make; make install) barnyard without mysql support Have a check on this and let us know.
