Intrusion Detection With BASE And Snort | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

HowtoForge has a nice article on setting up Snort with BASE on a Debian system, Intrusion Detection With BASE And Snort.

This tutorial shows how to install and configure BASE (Basic Analysis and Security Engine) and the Snort intrusion detection system (IDS) on a Debian Sarge system. BASE provides a web front-end to query and analyze the alerts coming from a Snort IDS system. With BASE you can perform analysis of intrusions that Snort has detected on your network.
