In a box with only one NIC, connected to a hardware tap with no send capabilities, even the best case for an exploiter would leave them limited to making changes to the snort box itself.. ie: they could load code to delete files, call for shutdown, etc.
Nah - you're forgetting that the box is almost guaranteed to have a management port too... So they break in, then tunnel back out to themselves via the operational eth0/whatever. Of course, a firewall in front, yada, yada... Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
