Using Snort Stealthily

jukal writes "Linux Journal has an article on using Snort as stealth sniffer, a stealth NDIS probe and stealth loger -- on a network interface with no IP address. 'Snort is a versatile and powerful tool for sniffing, intrusion detection and packet logging. Configuring it to run stealthily in sniffing mode or NIDS mode is easy; incorporating it into a stealth-logging solution is only slightly less so'"

That's great! You've done the most important part, come up with 2 snazzy little names. Now go create a sourceforge project and have it sit there idle for a few years.

I always try to snort stealthily, lest someone would walk in on my little 'habit'. ;-)

If the moderation system worked, then your comment regarding spelling and grammar would have been modded down in an instant.

These guys(and I speak for myself here too) reasing this, and talking about packet sniffing are techies. Techies dont need to advertise products, or have shiny teeth, shiny boots or slick nike jackets. Techies dont need to spell perfectly- and are more likely to deliberately mis-spell a word to save typing characters or so non-techies cant read it. We are some of the most egotistical arrogant scum of the universe and once we have accepted that we are a techie-we dont try and deny that. When I read a posting-I look for content- wether it was well researched and well thought out, if it was even on topic-and will then respond in a way that I deem suitable. If I disagree I will say so. I dont even mind normal bitching matches and stuff. But anal english teachers can go to pgce.gov.co.uk or somewhere else. Because they are not welcome here. Go away- and leave network packet sniffing conversation to people who are too interested in networking to give a monkeys uncle about the quality of their grammar and spelling.
