Snort For Mac

This video demonstrates installing, configuring, and testing the open-source Snort IDS (v2.9.8.2) program on a Windows 10 computer. The installation process is almost identical on Windows 7/8/8.1. A Lightweight Intrusion Detection System and Intrusion Prevention System for Gnu/linux Systems Downloaded by millions of people worldwide, and with over half a million registered users, Snort is an open-source and free command-line application that can be successfully used for network intrusion prevention, detection, and protection on any GNU/Linux operating system, capable of packet logging. Snort is a libpcap-based sniffer/logger which can be used as a network intrusion detection and prevention system. It uses a rule-based detection language as well as various other detection mechanisms and is highly extensible. Use Snort to keep your Mac on edge. This is one of the first noted IDS programs that run on the Mac OS X platform and it does not cost the user money. Draw back, there isn't any Mac OS X install package yet, or a GUI for the Mac OS X platform, raw unix. Read about Snort on Mac OS X.

While what yuriwho posted will help speed up compile, it won't fix this particular problem. The problem is that, while Apple includes libpcap libraries, they don't include the header files. Easiest thing is to grab libpcap header files and put the included files into /usr/local/include (create if necessary) then try again. If you don't trust the header files I put out there, you can grab the complete source for libpcap at ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z.

Me again - I take it by header files you mean *.h files in the raw unpack? Just copy the 8 files into the directory you mentioned, right? Or do I need to do the INTSTALL as well? (No - haven't done that, since I think this will overwrite the Apple files, and I don't want to do that)
Thanks in advance.

Not sure which files you are referring to when you mention 'the 8 files', but the ones I linked to in pcap_inc.tar.gz has just five (ethertype.h, gencode.h, pcap-int.h, pcap-namedb.h, and pcap.h) which define stuff in the libraries under /usr/lib which Apple provided. These five should be placed under /usr/local/include then try your make again.

Thanks for the header files. it works! Snort installs. now it's just a matter of getting it to work the way I would like it to! :)

Click Close when the installation is finished.
