Snort Challenge - Different logging methods


Posted by brevizniak on December 04, 2005 16:51:09

How can you write rules in a single instance of snort that use different alerting methods?

Posted by kens on January 06, 2006 13:50:28

You can use Custom Rule Actions. By using the ruletype keyword you can use this to reference custom actions from within your rules. The ruletype is defined in snort.conf and can then be used within your rules.

Eg: ruletype special_alert
{
type log
output log_tcpdump: special_alert_log
}

A rule can them be used such as below:
special_alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 6667 (msg:"Internal IRC Server";)
