Turn on IDS mode of snort by executing given below command in terminal: sudo snort -A console -q -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/nf -i eth0

Now add given below line which will capture the incoming traffic coming on 192.168.1.105(ubuntu IP) network for ICMP protocol. Therefore be smart and add a rule in snort which will analyst NMAP Ping scan when someone tries to scan your network for identifying a live host of a network.Įxecute given below command in ubuntu’s terminal to open snort local rule file in text editor. Optional: Wireshark (we have added it in our tutorial so that we can clearly confirm all incoming and outgoing packets of a network)Īs we know any attacker will start the attack by identifying host status by sending ICMP packet using ping scan.

Today we are going to discuss how to Detect NMAP scan using Snort but before moving ahead kindly read our previous articles related to Snort Installation ( Manually or using apt-respiratory)and its rule configuration to enable it as IDS for your network.īasically, in this article, we are testing Snort against NMAP various scan which will help network security analyst to setup snort rule in such a way so that they become aware of any kind of NMAP scanning.
