Snort Management System: Managing Multiple Snort Instances on Many Systems

Overview The snort management system enables engineers to efficiently manage and deploy small and/or large production snort environments. This system employs the open-source WebJob framework and several other open-source technologies including: oinkmaster, rsync, snort, and ssh. The system is designed to minimize the workload involved in managing the snort rules and related snort configuration les, while maintaining a high degree of security and robustness. A secondary goal of this system is to advance the open-source methodology for managing a large number of snort instances in an enterprise environment. This paper describes how the system functions, and it further discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the solution.
