Re: Real Time Alert and Variables

[Nicholas Horton <fivetenets () me com>]

Is this referring to alert, drop, log, pass, etc?

If so are you saying its possible that I can create a type to have to execute a command to the shell based on a 
specific alert?

This is what I'm looking for. 

For example if rule 1:2924 gets triggered I not only want to alert me about it but actually kick of a script to so 
something in case it's in the middle of the night or I'm simply at lunch.  To automate certain known alerts that are 
harmful and could spread though the LAN. Maybe I would even shut off the switch port that the device is connected to if 
it has virus. 

Does snort have this ability?  Can barnyard2?  I like using abilities of a given program and would prefer not adding 
another layer of complexity to the equation such as swatch but if that is what I need ill use it.

What is the best practice for having scripts kick off to the shell based on specific alerts?

Thanks again
Nick
