snort-inline capabilities ( WAS: Re: Fortinet IDS )

[Jason <security () brvenik com>]

I imagine you could easily handle that stuff. ClamAV allows for custom 
virus detection so even if there is no detection for the spyware you 
could create it. Another avenue is using the spyware rules available for 
snort you could create block variants. I've no experience with the 
spyware rules so I cannot attest to accuracy but the solution is 
certainly capable of it.

perhaps the inline folks would care to comment.
