1) Technically… you probably need three interfaces because as an IPS you typically will be inline (can’t block traffic reliably if it all doesn’t go through you). With one interface for management and two for the inline set. Otherwise.. it is an IDS.


2) Run snort -? … that should give you the options and the uses.

Subject: [Snort-users] Am i understanding this right?

Hey all. I have a few questions to Snort, just to make sure i am understanding it right.


  1.  I have used Snort as an IPS system. I know i need two network interfaces to get it to work, but why? Is one network interface for listening on trafic and the other is the interface who is activating the rules i make?

  1.  I have made an test command to test my snort.conf. I am using: sudo snort -T -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -Q -i enp0s3:enp0s8. Does the -T stand for test, and the -c for using it on a console/terminal and -Q for test as inline mode?

Best regards

Kris.
