Re: Switching snort from IDS to IPS mode

[Martin Lee via Snort-users <snort-users () lists snort org>]

Can this work for window version?

As I know , window version do not have IPS
But it can configured inline without error in checking.

There are thousand of rules, which rules should be changed from alert to drop?

IIUC, modifying the rules to drop as well as running inline... you have to be
inline for snort to be able to control the connections and drop the ones you
don't want...
