I am not sure what the listening port is on MySQL. I tried what I think is the default of 3306 and still I am getting the following error:
database mysql_error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.250.254.253' (111)
Barnyard2 exiting
database: Closing connection to database "snort"
My barnyard.conf file looks like this:
output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=l0gg3r dbname=snort host=10.250.254.253 port=3306 sensor_name=WinIDS-Madrid
My remote sensor ip address is 10.250.253.253
I have read where remote access to MYSQL is off by default, could this be the reason for the error and if so, how might I enable remote access??
