December 2006

ABSTRACT
The snort management system enables engineers to efficiently manage and deploy small and/or large production snort environments. This
system employs the open-source WebJob framework and several other
open-source technologies including: oinkmaster, rsync, snort, and ssh.
The system is designed to minimize the workload involved in managing
the snort rules and related snort configuration files, while maintaining a
high degree of security and robustness. A secondary goal of this system
is to advance the open-source methodology for managing a large number
of snort instances in an enterprise environment. This article describes
how the system functions, and it further discusses the advantages and
disadvantages of the solution.
