        ========
        
        Web service for analysing pcap files with ``snort``.
        
        |build_status| |pypi_version|
        
        Overview
        --------
        
        ``websnort`` provides a web interface for user and system submission of packet
        capture files to run against a ``snort`` IDS instance.  Alerts and logs are
        returned as results.
        
        If you are after a web interface for monitoring a running ``snort`` instance,
        see https://www.snort.org/downloads#additional-downloads instead.
        
        Getting Started
        ---------------
        
        **Ubuntu**
        
        Install ``snort`` if needed: ::
        
            sudo apt-get install snort
            
        *Optional* Disable running snort service if only required for this web api: ::
        
            sudo service snort stop
            sudo update-rc.d snort disable
        
        On recent ubuntu/debian releases the default *snort.conf* is not world readable.  Unless 
        planning to run the web service as root (not recommended) you will need to modify the
        permissions, for example: ::
        
        	sudo chmod a+r /etc/snort/snort.conf
        
        Install web service using ``pip``: ::
        
        	sudo pip install websnort
        
        Start the ``websnort`` web server on the default port: ::
        
        	websnort
        
        Browse to server:8080 and submit a pcap file for analysis.
