jrivett Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 I'm working through this tutorial and have hit a bit of a roadblock. Starting at 'Prepping the Windows Intrusion Detection System (WinIDS) Master Sensor', there seems to be an assumption that I already have mySQL installed, and that there's already a database called 'snort'. But I can't find anything in the tutorial about installing MySQL or creating that database or its tables. I checked the various scripts in the WinIDS package (winids-cssp-x64.zip), and didn't find anything there either. What am I missing? Quote
Morpheus Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 This is a Slave install, and it requires a master sensor being installed. The natural order of things would be to install a Master. Than a slave would be installed into any remote network not directly connected to the Master sensor. Quote
jrivett Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Posted January 25, 2017 That's the conclusion I came to as well, but I looked around in the tutorials and didn't see one that looked right. In my case, the Master will be on a 64-bit Linux server. Can you perhaps point me to the appropriate tutorial? Quote
Morpheus Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Look on Snort.org in the documentation section. There are usually a collection of different installs. Quote
