I've always wondered about this.

Could snort be compromised via a special buffer overflow sent to a network

but it will involve heaps of guesswork: snort version, platform, compile
options, exec. options. etc etc. etc.. but if this is done, you just
exec ifconfig <iface> <ip> and there you go.. that's why 'hardware'
clipping of the network cable makes sense as well.
