Hello,

I have a network configuration where I run snort separately on a dedicated
Linux box and have therefore another OpenBSD box which is dedicated to the
firewall task. Now because these two security tasks are not on the same
physical machine I was wondering how can I automatically block on my
OpenBSD firewall specific events which happens on my snort box?

For example, I see some brute force SSH login attemps to my network coming
from a specific external IP. Here I would like to block that external IP on
my OpenBSD firewall for let's say 1 hour. What would be the best solution
to do that?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Best,
ML
