    So the end of the weekend is drawing nearer. It’s been a good one; the main event being a cocktail party for a 50th. Far too much alcohol but good fun coming up with some interesting mixes. Read more »

    Battery: 0%

    10pm. 527548 events logged by Snort since 7pm last night (the last database purge). The vast majority of those was during office hours today; not surprising given the general peak traffic time on the network. Snorby is holding up well although ruby seems to consume a lot of resources, and I managed to crash the server by using the email a report function (it tried to run an SQL query that was over 4.8 MILLION characters long – 2 hours at max system resources and it finally tipped over). Other than that all is looking good. Read more »

    I recently setup a Snort sensor on a dedicated box and initially had it all running and happy. Then I stumbled across Snorby, and thought “that looks pretty mint, I might try that out” as BASE just wasn’t doing it for me on its own. In this article I’ll try and piece together a little about what the initial set-up was and how I managed to get Snorby up and running (and how I managed to get stuck several times along the way).

    Black Out

    Black Out

    The other day I was going through some old files looking for something and came across a s**tload of pics and stuff that I’d collected over the years and used to be on one of my old websites. So, instead of uploading things in gallery fashion as they were I thought I’d post a few every now and then as I felt motivated.

    So far, I’ve decided on a few obvious categories but I’m sure the list will grow. There’s everything from politically incorrect, to down right rude. The intent is not to offend, it’s all just a laugh. These pic’s come from all over the place, collected over years: if there is anything that belongs to you and you want it taken down, let me know – I make no claim of ownership of any of this stuff.

    Here’s a few to set the mood and start the project off. =P
