[Snort-users] Snort signautures

Hi all,

I have recently set up Snort as part of my final year project at University. I have configured Snort to monitor traffic between 4 computers, to demonstarte how Snort detects unauthorised traffic.

My first question is, where can I find documentation on determining what the signatures I receive mean?

Secondly are there a number of commands that I should use to tell Snort to start monitoring? How do I perform a port scan?

Thirdly I downloaded a front end for my Snort system. The file is called idscenter.zip. It was downloaded from the download section on snort.org, in the add ons section under front ends. There is no documentation with this. Does anybody use such a system and if so do they know where I can get documentation.

I would really appreciate any kind of feedback. I am at the moment only a novice but have been reading a lot about Snort and want to find out more.

Thanks for your time

Chris
