problem with snort, error when starting barnyard2
I am trying to configure Snort for the first time. My OS is Linux Lubuntu 14.04. I followed all the steps in online tutorials. I have configured snort, barnyard2, snortrules 2960 and daq-2.0.2, and edited various configuration files. I also configured snort report. However I am unable to get any information to my snort report. I am able to start and run snort, getting up to the message that says "Commencing packet processing." But barnyard2 does not appear to run. I get an error when trying to start barnyard2 using the command:
Quote:
sudo barnyard2 -c /usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard2.conf -d /var/log/snort -f snort.u2 -w /var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo
|
Here is the error generated (And for some weird reason, I am getting an an empty file (zero bytes) when I try to pipe the entire output of aforementioned command to a file.):
Quote:
ERROR: Unable to open Generator file "/usr/local/snort/etc/gen-msg.map": No such file or directory
ERROR: [Barnyard2Init()]failed while processing [/usr/local/snort/etc/gen-msg.map]

The gen-msg.map file does exist though. |
