Hi Blixten

Could you paste in the output when you have pressed Ctrl+ C

Check doc/README.counts.  You *are* looking for Verdicts.  Blocked is what
Snort did not allow to pass; Dropped are packets Snort didn't see.

 Hi (again),

I'm setting up my own Snort for a test-scenario. All works well, but I'm
not sure how I should read the output when I close Snort with CTRL+C.
I did read http://manual.snort.org/node9.html but it doesn't make sense
for me.. I'm running Snort as IPS, so I guess the title "Verdicts" isn't
anything relevant for me?
When I use my rule, a drop rule, and send traffic which should be
dropped from it, Packet I/O Totals - Dropped: shows 0(zero).
The traffic is dropped since I can't access the site I'm dropping packets
to the website. So my rule is working properly.
I need to have some good statics what Snort did with the packets, how
many where dropped? I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious..

Yours,
Blixten
