Hi,<br><br> I'm trying to become familiar with Bro and have installed
the stable release 1.2.1 on an Ubuntu VMware image running a 2.6 kernel.<br><br>
I have been following the documentation and wanted to see if I have
everything installed properly by first reading a pcap to generate an
alarm. I was looking at the reference manual, specifically Chapter 2:
Getting Started <a href="http://2.1.4.2">2.1.4.2</a> Traffic traces. I wanted to emulate the:<br>
<br> bro -r example.ftp-attack.trace brolite<br><br>where I was
supposed to see a connection summary in stdout and some kind of alarm.
I didn't find that particular pcap with the installation as the
documentation says, but used a pcap from an earlier bro package -
ftp-site-exec.trace. I ran the bro above command using this pcap, but
I don't see any output at all. I'm familiar with Snort so I've used an IDS before. I
just can't figure out what I might be doing wrong. Can someone please
help?<br>
<br>Thanks a lot - Jesse
