Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to document the installation and configuration of a complete Snort implementation. This guide contains all the necessary information for installing and understanding the architectural layout of the implementation.

You may find some discrepancies if you are installing different versions of Snort or using different versions of Redhat. This guide was written with the assumption that you understand how to run Snort and have a basic understanding of Linux. This includes editing files, making directories, compiling software and understanding general Unix commands. This guide does not explain how to use or configure Snort, but information on where to obtain this information can be found in the “Additional Information” section.
