Question: Where do I find the \Device list

I’m trying to do something on the command line and it requires the name of your ethernet adapter. It defaults to \Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter. Where can I find the list of apapters? I’m trying to find the name of the local area connection.

Thanks.

    Hi dear228,

    Did you also facing this type of problem, when you’re run the program?

    Interface Device Description
    ——————————————-
    1 \Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter (Generic dialup adapter)
    2 \Device\NPF_{AB4B0B0E-7528-41EF-BE3E-13A70921889A} (Realtek RTL8139 Family Fast Ethernet Adapter)
    3 \Device\NPF_{3B2AB6EB-AD69-4FDC-AA20-F96564903D06} (3Com EtherLink PCI)

    In the snort.conf file, you need to set var HOME_NET to:
    var HOME_NET any

    If you still cannot solve the problem, then try to set your ‘var HOME_NET’ as your IP network range. You need to use the “-i” tag to identify which interface to use.

    For example:

    “-i 2″
    or
    “-i 3″

    Hope this will help you here ;)
