The purpose of this paper is to detail using Snort as a Network Intrusion Detection System. Unfortunately Snort is not just a simple executable file that one could click next all the way through. There are many different applications that need to be installed to make Snort run. This paper is designed with as much detail as possible to help “newbies” easily install and configure Snort 1.8.6 on Windows 2000/XP. Many Snort installation instructions are very arcane, they leave out important details, and do not explain exactly why certain things are being installed or configured a specific way. This document is intended for people with little technical experience. They will be able to successfully install Snort with little difficulty and understand the different steps along the way. These procedures are quite long and meticulous, but people with little or no Snort expertise have successfully tested them.
