Please note the differences when working below. Onward First, we need to install some pre-requisites: sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev mysql-client autoconf libtool You will be prompted for the MySQL root password.

We choose MYSQLROOTPASSWORD for the below examples. Next, we need to edit the snort.conf: sudo vi /etc/snort/snort.conf We need to add a line that tells Snort to output events in binary form (so that Barnyard2 can read them).

After line 520 in /etc/snort/snort.conf (a line that is a commented-out example), add the following line and save the file: output unified2: filename snort.u2, limit 128 This line tells snort to output events in the unified2 binary format (which is easier for snort to output rather than human-readable alerts). Next we need to get, configure, and install Barnyard2. Note on Barnyard2 Version: In the commands below, we will be downloading the current head release of Barnyard2 rather than a specific release number, which at this time is 2.1.14.

However, Barnyard2 expects a different file name for this library. Create a soft link from dnet.h to dubmnet.h so there are no issues: sudo ln -s /usr/include/dumbnet.h /usr/include/dnet.h sudo ldconfig Depending on the architecture of your system (x86 or x64), choose to run one of the following lines to tell Barnyard2 where the MySQL libraries are:./configure --with-mysql --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu./configure --with-mysql --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu Then continue with the install: make sudo make install Barnyard2 is now installed to /usr/local/bin/barnyard2.
