Snort Intrusion Detection System

Snort is an intrusion detection system which enables you to log packets, and track network activity on IP networks. Snort files are installed in the following directories:

On Tru64 UNIX, Snort runs in two different modes: sniffer, packet logger, and network intrusion detection. Network intrusion detection currently does not work on Tru64 UNIX. In sniffer mode, Snort will continually read packets from the network and display them on the console. In packet logger mode, it will write the packets to a log file on disk.

Sniffer Mode — display TCP/IP packet headers

./snort -v(show IP and TCP/UDP/ICMP headers)

./snort -vd(include packet data)
