FW: Can't see drop-rate for packets?[IPS] New Snort-user

[Simon Blixt <blixten_496 () hotmail com>]

Hi,

I still don't understand what the output means. What does "Injected" means? How can it be about the same packets 
allowed when I use my rule as when I don't use it?
What is the difference between Blocked and Blacklist? 

Thank you in advance!

Output without my rule(but with standard-rules): http://pastebin.com/GxB6ANBZ
Output with my rule: http://pastebin.com/s41zXDCn

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
