This document is supposed to be a step by step guide on how to install and
configure snort version 1.8.3, ACID, a web based frontend for
statistical realtime snort data with the underlying MySQL database and its
support packages PHPlot and ADODB, SnortSnarf, also a statistical tool with a
web frontend for analysing the snort logfile, arachnids_upd for always
getting the actual rules from Max Vision's http://www.whitehats.com/ site,
and a sample swatch configuration I use to check if snort reports errors
which I do not get because snort has stopped.
