Install Snort on your virtual machine and verify the installation by running 'snort -V' in the terminal to display the current version. 2. Configure Snort to monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic on your VM’s primary network interface and log alerts to a file named snort.log. 3. Simulate a network scan from another device (or VM) using the nmap tool, and check if Snort generates an alert in the log file for this suspicious activity.<br><br><em><strong>Hint:</strong> Use 'nmap -sS [your VM IP]' from another machine on the same network.</em> 4. Edit your Snort configuration to only alert on HTTP traffic (port 80) and test by browsing any website from your VM, then verify that only HTTP-related alerts appear in snort.log.<br><br><em><strong>Constraint:</strong> Do not alert for other ports like 22 or 443.</em>
