Is this in a business or just personal? There's no way I could do that in my environment... too many legitimate things would get blocked. ________________________________ From: Joel Esler [mailto:jesler () sourcefire com] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 9:34 AM To: James Lay Cc: Snort Subject: Re: [Snort-users] What makes a complete IDS package? Clarify -- I have those rules set to drop, and the alert suppressed (still recorded in tcpdump logs). If a website is hiding the information as such with Javascript or whatever, I don't need to go to that website.

I've tuned the hell out of my Snort installation, so that when it alerts, I need to deal with something. Joel Joel, So....do you nuke out the "possible" rules? Or the "likely hostile" rules? I spend a fair amount of time tracking down obfuscated javascript and javascript in pdf type alerts...most are non-malicious, but some turn out to be bad...curious on just how much you've tuned my friend ;) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d_______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net<mailto:Snort-users () lists sourceforge net> Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users -- Joel Esler jesler () sourcefire.com<http://sourcefire.com> http://blog.snort.org && http://blog.clamav.net Twitter: @snort -- Joel Esler | http://blog.snort.org | http://vrt-blog.snort.org | http://blog.clamav.net
