Am I right that using one way ethernet cable defeats the purpose of snort's
flexresp
capability like tearing tcp connections?

I'm about to work up a one-way cable (for use in a hub), but I'm a bit
concerned about the effect it will have on the network.

Since the traffic is broadcast back out into the hub, does that create
performance issues on that collision domain?  This will be at a rather
critical point on a network and I can't afford to introduce ethernet
oddities.

Mike,

Actaully, have a look at this:

RO
cables.  These don't suffer from that since the TX wires aren't even
connected.

Hope that helps!
