RE: i can't block sites with Snort [ OT - a less su cky way to do this ]

["Moyer, Shawn" <SMoyer () rgare com>]

Totally outside of Snort anyway, but for what you're doing (blocking a list
of inappropriate websites), you'd be a lot better of with Squid
(http://www.squid-cache.org) via transproxy and DansGuardian
(http://www.dansguardian.org). 

Personally, I don't do anything with automated responses and IDS's. I see
them as data-gathering tools with a very looong way to go before we'll
really see any of that "Adaptive Network Security" we keep hearing about. I
do kill a couple common URI's at my firewalls (cmd.exe, root.exe, etc.), but
that's about it.
