Re: Mac-Address

Hi,

So, i am listening to the traffic from a mirror port in a cisco switch
(ethernet port)
I have added to the snort.conf "config decode_data_link" in order to see
the Mac Address printed on the screen when snort will sniff the traffic.

I have used u2boat tool then read the file with tcpdump, but what i get
from the snort.u2.xxxx file  is :

08/22-10:42:43.593477 x.x.x.x -> x.x.x.x
ICMP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:0 IpLen:20 DgmLen:84 DF
Type:8  Code:0  ID:4531   Seq:1  ECHO

So , what is  wrong?  solution ?

Regards,
Abid

Use u2boat  (tools bundled with snort in tools/u2boat on your unified2
file it will extract raw packets from your unified2 file.

Then use tcpdump to read that pcap file and you will find what you are
looking for, If you have capture your packet via a ethernet interface
and that the capture packet is not striped of its ethernet header.

u2spewfoo will only display IP header information by default.
barnyard2 currently used database schema and other output plugins
(text,alert,syslog) will not display/use ethernet source and dest mac.

HI,

Thanks Andrew.

config decode_data_link will replace -e in snort command.
The Mac-address will be printed on the screen but it will not be saved
in
the snort.u2.xxx file.


The mac address is saved in the file if your listening on a ethernet
interface and the
packet that you initialy captured has a ethernet header.


So , what should i do to save it in the file ?

Abid

Try adding:

config decode_data_link

to snort.conf

yes , no problem.
so how can i save this extra information in snort database ? should
i
change the configuration ?

You probably won’t get the mac address of the host.  You will only
get
the mac address of the device that last handled the packet before
Snort saw
it.

Thanks.

So what i need is to save in snort database, when an attack is
deteckted, the mac-addresses of host.
So how can i do that ?

Abid

Snort can dump the last mac address that it sees when it sniffs
the
packet, use the “-e” command line tag.
