Re: Automatically block IP on firewall box from snort IDS

[ML mail <mlnospam () yahoo com>]

Hi Kevin,

I already tried snortsam on my OpenBSD firewall but it looks like the code is outdated and it simply does not compile 
with the latest PF (packet filter) of OpenBSD 4.9. The mailing list of snortsam is also dead and the author does not 
reply neither on his private mail. I can only conclude here that the snortsam project is dead or at least it's OpenBSD 
part :(

Any other ideas?

Best,
ML
