Re: Sticky-drop

We are hoping to have snort_inline-2.4.3 out before the end of the
year....  Below is a link to an RC from last month sometime.  There
are about three people who work on snort_inline on a consistent basis.
 A lot of the time real life stuff gets in the way of us getting
releases out, as we work on this just for fun. See the
snort_inline.conf in etc/ and the README.INLINE/ in doc/ for more
information on sticky-drop.

I think you are talking about sdrop?

        I'm familiar with sdrop.  My question is in response to this post from
Will earlier today:

sticky-drop in snort-inline can do this.  You could probably
accomplish the same thing with Snortsam In InlineMode(); but I haven't
tried it.

        By which I assume that sticky-drop drops the connection and also drops
future connections from the target IP.

        And then there's this posting by Will from 3/30/05:

The IPS functionality drops or rejects induvidual packets, unless you
are using the sticky-drop preprocessor from snort_inline-2.3.0-RC1 and
tell it otherwise.

        I did find some related preprocessor files in the
snort_inline-2.3.0-RC1 tree, but those files don't exist in the 2.4.3
tree, nor can I find any documentation on exactly what they do or how to
make use of them...

        Anyone know what this is about or if it works or is supported
somewhere?
