Snort as IPS

["Nicolas Saurbier" <Nicolas.Saurbier () biodata de>]

Hi All,

short question:

Can Snort work as an IPS instead of an IDS? I know the Guardian-addon for reconfiguring IPFilters, but thats not what 
I´m looking for.
I need an IPS, that drops Packages when they arrive. Can Snort do this job?
