Re: Alerts were Generated on my Snort IDS box for the Heartbleed Vulnerability

[Jeremy Hoel <jthoel () gmail com>]

Snort isn't telling you that you are vulnerable.  Its telling you that
someone made an attempt, which you did when you asked McAfee to scan your
ip.  That's up to the result of the scan from McAfee, if its true or false.

The rules tell you that they are attempts.  That's all.
