Setting up snort
I'm doing a project for a class, and I keep running into an issue. The professor and tutor are unable to help. I entered the following commands to install snort onto Ubuntu: (DAQ was already installed)
sudo apt-get install libluajit-5.1-2 libluajit-5.1-common libluajit-5.1-dev luajit
sudo apt-get install libdumbnet-dev
wget https://www.snort.org/downloads/snort/snort-2.9.12.tar.gz
tar xvzf snort-2.9.12.tar.gz
cd snort-2.9.12
./configure --enable-sourcefire --disable-open-appid
make
sudo checkinstall
sudo dpkg -i snort_2.9.12-1_amd64.deb
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/snort /usr/sbin/snort
sudo ldconfig -v
snort -V # used to test snort
cd -
I then downloaded the snort rules snapshot, and ran the following commands:
cd
cd Downloads
sudo mkdir -p /etc/snort
sudo tar -xvzf snortrules-snapshot-29110.tar.gz –C /etc/snort/
sudo touch /etc/snort/rules/white_list.rules
sudo touch /etc/snort/rules/black_list.rules
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/snort_dynmicrules
sudo mv /etc/snort/etc/* etc/snort
but when I enter the last command sudo mv /etc/snort/etc/* etc/snort, I get the following error message:
mv: target 'etc/snort' is not a directory
command-line snort

@N0rbert This repo has v2.9.7 even for Cosmic while OP tries to install v2.9.12. The differences are not trivial, see the changelog.

The last command is incorrect. You are getting the mv: target 'etc/snort' is not a directory error message because etc/snort is not a directory, but /etc/snort is a directory. The last command should be:
sudo mv /etc/snort/etc/* /etc/snort

The last command is incorrect. You are getting the mv: target 'etc/snort' is not a directory error message because etc/snort is not a directory, but /etc/snort is a directory. The last command should be:
sudo mv /etc/snort/etc/* /etc/snort
