Hi James,

Yes, I do have a capture on my Windows 7 PC which is sitting behind
Snort(linux).

-> Snort command used:
snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -Q -i eth1:eth0 --daq afpacket -k none -A
fast


-> Traffic from Windows 7 pc:

Hi James,



 Thanks for looking in to this. In your case, the HTTP request is getting
blocked by snort. But the same is not happening in my case. Any other
command output that could help you figure out this issue?

Hi Snort-Experts,


I am running Snort-2.9.7 in Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (64-bit). Snort is unable
to drop packets, despite a drop alert being generated:

-> Following rule in snort.rules file is getting triggered for the above
alert log.

Interestingly, Blacklist means getting
dropped/blocked/not-allowed-through/whatever you want to call it.  Case in
point below:

start line:
sudo snort -c snort.conf -Q --daq afpacket -i eth1:eth2 -A console -k none

afpacket DAQ configured to inline.

Rishabh,

How are you confirming that this isn't getting
dropped/blocked/blacklisted?  Do you have a capture, or can you capture on
the IPS to see what the traffic is looking like?
