Snort as an intrusion detection library

[Shaiful <shaifuljahari () yahoo com>]

Hi all,

Disclaimer:IANASD (I'm Not a Snort Developer)

IMHO, it'll will be very useful if there is an option
to compile snort as a detection library.  This will be
useful for other application like snort-inline and
hogwash where there is a need to use snort detection
engine.

So it will be possible to compile with snort detection
engine with -lsnort.  I know that libnids already
existed for a long time but it is more towards the
E-box (event) not the the A-box (analysis). Libnids
has some basic matching function but if we can use
snort's powerful rule parsing and detection engine it
will be more useful.

My two cents,
Shaiful
