Re: Segregating drop alerts

[Anshuman Anil Deshmukh <anshuman () cybage com>]

I mean to say the alerts for the rules that have been set to drop. We have not set it as silent.

So only some rules have been set to drop. The console should be able to show if it is a alert for drop or just an 
alert. This way we can decide what other rules we can configure for drop.

Hope this is preety clear.

Regards,
Anshuman

Dear Anshuman,

Can you clarify what you mean by "drop alerts"?

I don't know anything about Snorby, but my experience of Snort in
vanilla configuration is that

  - an "alert" rule will log both an alert and the packet;
  - a "drop" rule will silently ignore the packet.

Best,
