hello all again

i am trying to install BASE as part of my senior project.

i seem to be haveing a problem with snort. when i run the command snort -v -i4 and terminate it ctrl-c it shows that i have no alerts. i have added the following linds to the end of the snort.conf file


include $RULE_PATH/test.rules

alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"TCP traffic";)

alert ip any any -> any any (msg:"Got an IP Packet"; classtype:not-suspicious; sid:2000000; rev:1;) alert icmp any any -> any any (msg:"Got an ICMP Packet"; classtype:not-suspicious; sid:2000001; rev:1;) alert icmp any any -> any any (msg:"ICMP Large ICMP Packet"; dsize:>800; reference:arachnids,246; classtype:bad-unknown; sid:2000499; rev:4;)


which for what i have read, should report any packet as an alert... however it does not.

i have restarted windows several times incase it needed a restart to recognize the changes to the config file the test.rules file contains the bottom 3 lines, (starting at alert ip any any)

i know its not running on a linux machine, but i was hopeing you guys had an idea were i could start looking to figure out why its not reporting any alerts, (im fairly certin its a problem with my conf... but, i followed the tutorial and it seems to not be working)

i can copy and past the .conf file in the email, but i didnt want to attach a HUGE HUGE file and clutter up everyones email's.

jsn
