Doug Burks said...: Hi Al,

You can certainly accomplish this with the iptables command. I will look at including fwbuilder in the future for a GUI frontend for iptables.

Please let me know if you have any further suggestions!

Doug Burks said...: "Access from the local network only"

This could mean a few different things and could be implemented either with a local iptables firewall or with the existing routing infrastructure already in place outside of the box.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or suggestions!

Unknown said...: is it possible to combine Security Onion with BackTrack or use both of them at the same time?; August 9, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Doug Burks said...: Hi Metasploit,

Backtrack 4 is based on Ubuntu (just like Security Onion) and so is therefore a good candidate for using the NSMnow installer to install and configure Snort, Sguil, Barnyard2, Sancp, etc. Reference this post for more information.

Likewise, Snort 3.0 (SnortSP) Beta 3 can be installed and configured on Backtrack 4 using my tutorials here:
Installing Snort 3.0 (SnortSP) Beta 3 on Ubuntu 8.04 in 3 Steps
Integrating Snort 3.0 Beta 3 and Sguil in 3 Steps

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Unknown said...: ok thanks.. and i have another question. can i install it on a usb stick?; August 12, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Doug Burks said...: Absolutely! You can use Unetbootin to install Security Onion on a bootable USB drive. For more information, please see:

Please let me know if you have any further questions or suggestions.

You're commenting on a post from 2009. Look for a link on the right side of the page labeled "Download/Install" which should take you here:
