  • NETGATE 4100 - Snort Fatal Error on new install
    Okay I figured it out. The problem occurs when you're only using the community rules for Snort. If you go to snort.org and register for a free or subscriber "oink" code, enter the code in pfSense and update the rules then it magically works as expected.

  • Trying to learn Rogue Device Detection
    Snort (not an insult) https://snort.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

  • Any actively maintained open source GUI for snort ?
    Take a look at the snort 3 ubuntu installation guide on snort.org (I'm the author), it walks you through getting Snort 3 and Splunk working together well. Source: about 3 years ago
