    As far as I know, signatures with "alert" keyword should still work as usual when running Snort inline. Only those 
signatures marked with "drop" will be dropped, the rest , i.e.: "alert" signatures, should only alert as normal, at 
least when using the afpacket DAQ. I wouldn't imagine the behavior is different for NFQ, but I never tested it.

     

    We have two sensors running inline (afpacket), and although they do not contain "alert" signatures at the moment, 
they worked as expected during testing in regards to running  "alert" and "drop" signatures at the same time.

Thanks YM and waldo...here's what I've tested:



iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 1

snort -Q -D --daq nfq --daq-var device=eth0 --daq-var queue=1 -c snort/snort.conf



rules:

drop tcp any any -> any 80 (msg:"Test 80"; sid:10000053;)

alert icmp any any -> any any (msg:"Ping test"; sid:10000054;)



testing:

[05:09:22 jlay@James:~$] telnet analysis 80

Trying 192.168.1.6...

^C

[05:09:31 jlay@James:~$] ping analysis

PING analysis (192.168.1.6) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from analysis (192.168.1.6): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.176 ms



results:

03/06-05:09:28.544877  [Drop] [**] [1:10000053:0] Test 80 [**] [Priority: 0] {TCP} 192.168.1.2:34392 -> 192.168.1.6:80



So...looks like this method no workie.  What daq mode are you using YM? --daq afpacket --daq-mode inline 


Thank you.



James
