Clarify --

I have those rules set to drop, and the alert suppressed (still recorded in
tcpdump logs).  If a website is hiding the information as such with
Javascript or whatever, I don't need to go to that website.

I don't.  No.  I have those set to block in the IPS.

I review my events on the command line.  I don't use a DB or whatever.
 I've tuned the hell out of my Snort installation, so that when it alerts, I
need to deal with something.

Joel,

So….do you nuke out the "possible" rules?  Or the "likely hostile" rules?
 I spend a fair amount of time tracking down obfuscated javascript and
javascript in pdf type alerts…most are non-malicious, but some turn out to
be bad…curious on just how much you've tuned my friend ;)
