Update on Sguil 0.7-CVS client on Ubuntu Feisty

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 17:10:56 +0000

A short time ago I wrote about how the Sguil 0.7-CVS client can be installed on Ubuntu Feisty. Since then there has been a change to Sguil that changes the requirements a bit. Because of this the standard tcllib package in Feisty is no longer usable. It provides tcllib 1.8 while Sguil now needs 1.9. Luckily, we can use the tcllib package from the upcoming Ubuntu release called ‘Gutsy’. It can be found here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/interpreters/tcllib

Compiling Snort_inline with NFQUEUE support on Ubuntu

I needed to setup the right libraries for Snort_inline development on my fresh Ubuntu Feisty installation, so I decided to write down the procedure for those who think compiling Snort_inline from source is hard. :)

Make sure you have build-essential package installed. This makes sure you have a compiler and development packages for glibc and other important libraries. I’m installing the libraries from source to get the latest versions because the latest versions are more stable and perform better than the versions included in Feisty. I’m installing them into /usr because some programs like them there best.

Sguil 0.7-CVS client on Ubuntu Feisty

I just got a new workstation that I’m setting up today with Ubuntu Feisty 7.04. When setting up the Sguil client from CVS I needed to install the following packages (including dependencies, but apt-get takes care of that):

tcl8.4 tclx8.4 tcllib tk8.4 iwidgets4

After this it ran but looked horrible because of some ugly font that was used. I found that for my use the following fonts look good:
