Monitor / logging firewall entry

For logging the entry's going through the firewall we are going to use Snort.
Snort is a program that can perform protocol analysis and content searching/matching. It can be used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more.

Snort can operate in three modes; it can operate as a packet sniffer, a packet logger, and an IDS.

More files, logs and settings will be add'et later
