Some Basic Questions on SNORT

["Vuppala, Vijaybhasker (EM, GECIS)" <Vijaybhasker.Vuppala () geind ge com>]

Hi,

I have some basic Questions regarding SNORT. Pls help me understanding the
product better.

1. Without a signature, can SNORT identify and throw out an alert based on
abnormal activity happening on the network. some of the examples could be
DOS attacks, if a machine is trying to connect to too many systems at a
time, if there are higher number of sessions (above a threshold which can be
set by me) between any two systems, if the rate of datatransfer between any
two systems is above a threshold.

2. Can SNORT kill the connections when suspicious activity found. If it's
possible, I might want to do this for selected signatures.

Regards,
Vijay
