Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) is a tool used to analyze and present Snort data using a Web interface. This chapter provides information about ACID and discusses how to install it with MySQL and Snort to view and analyze the intrusion detection data logged by Snort into the database.
In addition to ACID, the chapter also provides basic information about SnortSnarf, another tool that can be used with a web server. SnortSnarf is
able to parse Snort log files and generate HTML pages that can be viewed using a Web browser. |
