more plugins, less security ?
Posted by pellefantus on March 16, 2005 06:43:56
I was reading a book on snort, and they recommended some plugins to help
me keep track of logs, etc.
Like mysql, apache, acid...
I wanna use snort on the same box I have as router/ftp/firewall, wouldnt it make it more unsecure by having a webserver in it for example, I mean mabye im paranoid, but exploits come out everyday, mabye I forget to update apache on day and boom!
Even if if I dont have the port 80 open to the internet, just to my box, and locally it could be a threat, right? |

You've already got an ftp service running on a "router", how much worse could it get? :) |
