Sguil: full content logging in combination with Snort_inline, revisited

A few days ago i wrote about some challenges that my Snort_inline presented. Especially the full content logging wasn’t working quite as i would have liked. Logging on pseudo device ‘any’ didn’t work right because then the traffic that was NAT-ted was both recorded before NAT and after NAT. The solution I (with help of #snort-gui) came up with was using ‘-i any’ anyway, but exclude my public ip using a BPF filter. Later i saw Joel Esler write the solution in a unrelated problem to someone else. Sometimes solutions can be so simple!

Solution: passing -i eth0:eth1 to snort… Duh! Thanks Joel!
