[Snort-users] Snort-inline question



Hi List,

 

I am having some queries abt Snort-inline. Here they are :-

(1) While installing snort-inline whether i have to mention libipq

 directorty. If i don't mention, even then it goes fine. Does it mean

 that it has taken it from the appropriate path.

 

(2) snort-inline has the hogwash functionality. So does it mean that

 it uses iptables. Another thing is Snort-inline is supposed to sit inline

 and prevent malicious packets. How does it do it. Is there any specific command

 for it to do this.

 

(3) I have successfully installed snort-inline, and using snort

commands. So does it mean that whenever i will run snort command in

 any one of the mode(sniffing, IDS, logging), the malicious packets

 will be dropped.

 

Please give your suggestions and views.

 

Regards,

Amit
