Snort is the hardest piece of software I've ever had to set up. Took me about a week to get a toy system up and running and detecting the suspect traffic I was sending it (I was a dev with maybe 5 years of professional experience at the time, and was considered a linux and security expert). My friend once got "install snort" as a take-home test for a customer support role (I'm guessing the interviewer never tried). We laughed so hard that it ended up with us recording a parody song about it. My favorite lines, translated to English, go: If someone disses me on mIRC I immediately counter-attaRC I go and hack into his host I see his host is "localhost" He tries to counterhack my box I catch him with Snort Yes, yes, Snort is good... I install it on my machine and on _his_ comp too!
