why kismet shows "FATAL:Unknown capture source type..." error

you must install the libpcap BEFORE the compiling kismet from source.

and, when you ./configure with the "--disable-setuid" option will be helpful,becouse with this you did not assign the "suiduser“ in kismet.conf。

Snort with Ossim-agent

Ossim agent cannot support new snort-2.8 with the 2.6.1-ossim.patch file；although the patching works well;

when using patched snort-2.8 to generate the Unified log,that Ossim agent will stop analyse it。Maybe there are some incompatible;

When I use snort-2.6.1 with 2.6.1-ossim.patch , It works well。
