iptables, snort, fwsnort : how to get them to work together ?

[melodie]

Hi,

This man here asks a few questions about the above topic and would like to get one or more configuration files examples. He does not understand English. I don't know about firewalling and ips rules and match with firewalling.

Anyone can help here ? Fwsnort

Thanks,
Mélodie

melodie,

This has got to be one of the toughest questions you've asked. Snort is not an easy thing to manage. The first book I ever saw on it was several years ago at a Barnes and Noble bookstore. It was easily over 600 pages.

I checked your link, but I don't speak French. The snort documents page is here. There's a link to a pdf of the Snort user's manual, which is "only" 238 pages! The user translated guides are here. I would start with the French – Snort Installation Guide (pdf).

Actually, I'm getting a 403 Forbidden on that pdf link. You may want to email the author, Fathi Ben Nasr, (his email address is adjacent the link on the user translated guides page) and find out how to get access to the pdf link.

Hi djohnston,
In fact I could see in another topic that WindowsXP, if he is maybe not really keen in English, however manages quite well. Would you talk directly with him in the topic ? I have no knowledge about networks either, so it might be easier if you suggest him to write to the author. And all translation places are available to help in case of need : translate.google.com, babelfish... probably others do exist too.

Thanks for trying to help !
