Re: Snort in Bt5
My experience with snort is that it runs in the background and writes to the system log. you'd need to check the logs to see if it's finding anything.
What are you trying to use it for?

Re: Snort in Bt5
It has been a while since I have used snort myself, but I would recommend that you have a look at Snort Manual. It will give you the most in depth information. If you want to know what snort is normally used for, I would use it for packet sniffing, and/or wireless intrusion.
