There are two sub-folders available;

* Config-Sample **-** Sample configuration and rule files. These files are provided to show what the configuration files look like. Installed Snort instance doesn't use them, so feel free to practice and modify them. Snort's original base files are located under **/etc/snort** folder.
* Exercise-Files **-** There are separate folders for each task. Each folder contains pcap, log and rule files ready to play with.
