AW: Can snort be used for single host Intrusion Detection?(A newbie Question)

["Sean Wheeler" <s.wheeler () netprotect ch>]

Single host as in the host snort is running on ?
If that is the case simply do not enable promisc mode, and set EXTERNAL_NET
& HOME_NET TO any.
That way you see attacks coming at your machine and attacks leaving your
machine.

Sean

Betreff: [Snort-users] Can snort be used for single host Intrusion
Detection?(A newbie Question)


Hi,

The snort configuration file allows users to specify a
range of network addresses that it detects activities
on. I understand that it is possible to ignore traffic
coming from a particular host.

Is it possible to configure snort such that it only
checks traffic coming into a particular host?

Warmest Regards,
Louis Lam
