Re: Snort / acidlab and mysql

2003-11-04 Thread Marcelo Mendes Genaro

I think that is most secure use a external box to archive IDS data and
reports. The firewall boxes normally generate a lot of megabytes of log
and are very critical parts of network, so I think that the best way to
avoid crashes and possible security issues.
It' possible create a vlan for this service if you has a switch with this
feature or create a other segment of net to services like this.
All this questions are very personal and depends of your network traffic
because if you make some scripts to manage databases and logs/reports you can 
mantain all working fine on the
same box ( mysql, acid, snort and netfilter ).

Bye,

Re: ingress shaping?

2003-11-04 Thread R.M. Evers
hi clement & luca, thanks for your responses.

i did include ingress shaping as a module, and it's automagically loaded
when i try to use it.

as luca said, the LARTC-howto states we can only 'shape data we
transmit', but it was my believe that ingress shaping was there to solve
this shortcoming simply just by dropping packets. i've read about
working configs on the web (mainly for use with syn-flood protection),
though none in a bridge-config. maybe my understanding of ingress is way
off.. :-)

regards,
-rodi.
