Problems configuring react: msg;

[Peter Fraser <pjfraser82 () gmail com>]

Hi,

I have setup snort running as an IPS using NFQUEUE.

I can detect rules and run block and deny on them however I cannot seem to
get react to respond with a html page.

here is my configure command:

./configure --enable-sourcefire --enable-open-appid --enable-react
--enable-flexrsp3

I am running Snort  2.9.7.0

my rule example is:

drop tcp any any -> any $HTTP_PORTS  (msg:"http://www.news.com.au";;
content:"news.com.au"; react: msg; sid:283; rev:1;)

I have followed the docs and I am happy to accept all defaults at this
stage with regard to the response but the connection still just times out
regardless.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Fraser
