Hi,
I installed Snort, but i have no clue how it works. As a normal user i ran "snort -D" and also i configured /etc/snort/snort.conf . So now what? It just sits in the background and logs all the traffic? and also where does it keep track of all the info and logs and attacks? /var/log/snort/ ??? and also does it pop up saying there is a attack or something.. or do i have to check the files myself on regular bases?
Have you taken a look in the documentation. There it speek about the three dufferent modes that snort can be run in. In addition there are documentation on how to configure and monitor the result. www.snort.org
Can I have the pdf file of that book ??
You're asking for a free copy of something commercial. That's close enough to asking for warez. Please don't do that on LQ. There's enough Snort/IDS docs on the 'net you could start with.
