Security Documentation

New documentation - Snort with Barnyard and BASE on CentOS 5, RHEL5, or Fedora
If you find any bugs please let me know.

NEW VERSION for Snort 2.6.0 and NTOP
Snort, Apache, SSL, PHP, MySQL, and BASE Install on
CentOS 4, RHEL 4 or Fedora Core with NTOP

A Snort VM available.  I did a VM of my basic install on CentOS 4.3 and www.snort.org is hosting it.  All the passwords are password and it is running 2.6.0 and BASE 1.2.5.  it runs on Workstation 4.X and up, ESX 3 (have not tried earlier versions but assume it will run on them as well, let me know if you try) VMware player, and Server 1.0.  If you wanted to take a look and poke around this is your chance.  I tried to make the VM so as many people could use it as possible.  Enjoy.

Install and configure OinkMaster.  Here is a new how-to from the ISG team for you oinking pleasure

The items below are old, and outdated.  please use the most up to date documentation

Fedora Core 2 Install
 NEW   - Here is it.  It has been thoroughly tested by  Nick and Myself and several of the NTSUG members

here is a KickStart script for a fedora core 2 snort install.  this will do the OS the way I have it in the paper. if you have any problems e-mail me  Put it on a floppy and call it ks.cfg.  when you boot on the fedors core 2 CD #1 at the first screen type "linux ks=floppy://ks.cfg" without the quotes and it will do most of the load for you. (right click and do a save as on the link to download the file)

Snort, Apache, SSL, PHP, MySQL and Acid Install on Fedora Core 1 – From RPM
I just finished this one on June 1st 2004.  It is for 2.1.3  Please try to use this one, even with older versions of Redhat and RHEL. It will adapt well with little to no change.  It takes about 2.5 hours to install.  If you see any errors please e-mail me.
 

OLD - Do not use these unless you absolutely have to. 
The new docs will work with RHEL WS3 and Older version of Redhat with little to no change in them

 Installing Snort 2.1.2, Apache 2.0.48 (with SSL), PHP 4.3.4,  MySQL 4.0.17 and Acid 0.9.6b23 on Fedora Core 1 From Source
            This will work for RedHat 9 also

Installing Snort 2.1.0, Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4,  MySQL 4.0.17 and Acid 0.9.6b23 on RedHat ES WS3

Installing Snort 2.0.4, Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL 4.0.16 and Acid 0.9.6b23 on RedHat 9

I have removed the RedHat 8.0 documentation.  It has software that is seriously flawed and I have noticed in my logs that people have been downloading it.  The one for RedHat 9 has been used with other version of RedHat with very little modification, if you do not have RedHat 9 you can download it from www.redhat.com
