Splitting snort source code


Posted by Sindhu on December 08, 2005 21:27:40

hi,
I am doing my research project in adding fault tolerent capabilities to an IDS. For this purpose I am about to use Snort as the base IDS.

For this I need to split the source code into 4 modules.

Sniffing -> Pkt capture
Analysis -> pkt decoder and preprocessor
Desision -> Detection engine
Reporting -> Output plugin

Can anybody give me guidence regarding this

Thanks and regrads
