To use snort, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. In case you don't have PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS set in your /etc/mk.conf, copy
   /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/snort to /etc/rc.d/snort and add

	snort=YES

2. Now start snort by issuing the command

	/etc/rc.d/snort start

As of snort v2.4.0 rules are no longer distributed with the main
distribution.
You can :
- install the net/snort-rules package which contains
  the GPL "Community Rules"
- install the net/pulledpork package which downloads and updates rules
- manually download rules from https://snort.org/downloads/#rule-downloads
