- 4.1.5 Installing IDScenter
4.1.4 Installing MySQL DBWhy MySQL? MySQL is a free database that works on a number of platforms, including Windows which allows Snort to log directly to MySQL natively, as the alerts come in. While MySQL is not required with Snort, it is required for a front-end console such as ACID. If you set up MySQL or another database system, you can see the alerts without the front-end console, but you really do not need that kind of pain. Installing MySQL 5.0.18 Download MySQL version 5.0.18 from http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/index.html/. Uncompress the MySQL.ZIP file into a temporary directory. This file is ZIP file.You need a compression utility (such as WinZip or WinRAR) to uncompress it on a Windows 2000 platform. Where you uncompressed the file, double-click setup.exe. The Welcome window (Fig. 4.1.11) appears.

Snort only provides command line operation, which makes it tough for most users to use, for example, we have to memorize and type in the long command name each time, limited information display, etc. IDScenter can provide a friendly graphical interface for Snort. With the help of IDScenter, it is much easier to run Snort correctly. Downloading & Installing IDScenter Download IDScenter.zip (1.1 RC4, 04.08.2003) from http://www.engagesecurity.com/downloads/#idscenter. Unzip the download file to obtain the setup.exe. Duple click on the setup.exe file to start the installation. On the welcoming screen click next to start the installation. Click yes to accept IDScenter program license. Click next to accept the IDScenter default installation folder (“C:\Program Files\IDScenter” (Fig. 4.1.18).
