Status of Snort Inline

Hi everybody, I would like to gather some knowledge about the status of the inline functionalty. There is Snort 2.8 in which the inline functionality does not work. It does not work because it relies on libipq which is no longer supported and the compat layer from libnetfilter-queue has just been removed recently so Snort with GIDS enabled wouldn¹t even compile. Also, IP defragmentation in inline mode seems to be broken in the current 2.8 (though it worked in 2.8.0). The reason is because it tryes to safe memcopy zero bytes. Then there is the snort-inline project which development seems dead. It¹s only 2.6 and the maintainer isn¹t replying. We would like to integrate Snort in inline mode into a security product. We are willing to fix and maintain the inline mode Snort. But the current status is unclear. Is the only way to branch and maintain our own project? Furthermore, we are willing to maintain the Windows version even with the inline mode. Internally, we were able to compile and run 2.8 on Windows in inline mode successfully. Thanks in advance for any pointers on how to proceed. -- Jan Jezek
