Why is speed a factor? Are you trying to issue RST packets or issue firewall blocks/ACL rules? If you want to kill an active connection, I don't think anything reading Snort's output will be reliably fast enough unless the connection is a rather large file download. If you're not trying to kill the connection, then a few milliseconds difference between having a script do the reading and having something more built-in do the reading won't matter, and you should go with the ease-of-use of the script.
Thanks for the link Martin. Speed is a factor because I would like to be able to issue a firewall rule that could be a pipe divert, delay queue, block, or something similar. With my current piping/delay setup, I can afford ~15ms of time. \\korodev ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
