Using ACID
and SnortSnarf
with Snort
nalysis Console for Intrusion Databases
 (ACID) is a tool used to
A
analyze and present Snort data using a web interface. It is written in
PHP. It works with Snort and databases like MySQL, as you have learned
in the last chapter, and makes information available in the database to the
user through a web server. In addition to Snort, the tool can be used with
other security related products like firewalls and networking monitoring.
This chapter provides information about ACID and discusses how to
install it with MySQL and Snort to view and analyze the intrusion detec 
tion data logged by Snort into the database. You will go through a step by 
step procedure  to install ACID and use it. The graphical representation of
captured data is very useful for analysis purposes.
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. I assume that you are able to install and run Apache
web server as well as MySQL database server, which are required in order
to use the tools discussed in this chapter.
