Please read the snort_manual.pdf file that should be included with this
distribution for full documentation on the program as well as a guide to
getting started.
This package builds a very basic snort implementation useful for monitoring
traffic as an IDS or packet logger and as a sort of improved tcpdump.
For more information, check out snort's homepage at:

Source tarball and newer releases
---------------------------------
snort.org has no direct links to the source tarball, that's why it is also
hosted on http://www.nielshorn.net/
This is needed for sbopkg to work.

Installing and Updating Rules

In order for Snort to function properly, you need to provide rule files.

In order for Snort to function properly, you need to download rules, and
you need to update the rules regularly.

The downloaded file contains the rules, signatures and updated configuration
files. Be careful when updating these, as you will probably have customized
a few settings in your snort.conf
At the end of this file is a sample script that you can use as a base to
automate unpacking of the tarball. It updates the rules, signatures and some
configurations, but copies the new snort.conf as snort.conf.new, so that you
can examine it later.
This script is included only as an example and without any guarantee.

Be careful merging them, as you will probably have customized a few settings

1) put the new rules/* into /etc/snort/rules/
2) put the new preproc_rules/* into /etc/snort/preproc_rules/
3) put the new doc/signatures/* into /usr/doc/snort-*/signatures/
4) put the new etc/* into /etc/snort/ (except for snort.conf)
3) put the new etc/* into /etc/snort/ (except for snort.conf)
4) review any changes to snort.conf and merge them into /etc/snort.conf
5) restart snort:
