hi ...

i'm trying to do data correlation between snort and nessus and i have no idea how it might actually works.
i've read about the possibilty of data correlation between both of these tools ..
however, all of them are just general info..
i'm trying to find ways to really compare the output of both tools and yet i've reached the dead end ..

i've looked into the snort alert log files and also nessus report.
i find that both of them are in different format...
how is it possible to find out if an alert of snort is genuine or false alert based on the vulnerabilities scanned by nessus??

i hope someone could help me .. even if just passing some links which i can refer to ...

thanx in advance !
