To use snort, you will need to perform the following steps:
1. In case you don't have PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS set in your /etc/mk.conf, copy
${PREFIX}/${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}/snort to /etc/rc.d/snort and add
snort=YES
2. Now start snort by issuing the command
/etc/rc.d/snort start
As of snort v2.4.0 rules are no longer distributed with the main
distribution.
You can :
- install the net/snort-rules package which contains
the GPL "Community Rules"
- install the net/pulledpork package which downloads and updates rules
- manually download rules from https://snort.org/downloads/#rule-downloads
