NAT, full router flexibility, and a direct access to the internet from a computer on the local network.This should be possible?

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!

Thanks,
Doug Burks

"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!

Thanks,

is it possible to combine Security Onion with BackTrack or use both of them at the same time?

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,
Doug Burks

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.

Thanks,
