Reject should send the reset/icmp unreachable. Drop shouldn’t.

With the reject keyword I see the resets above. With drop there is nothing in the capture.

Use “--daq dump” to see the traffic. A filed named “inline-out.pcap” should be generated.

Subject: [Snort-users] disabling sniping

Hi

I have setup snort in inline mode.

It’s working as planned, but I would like the snort to silently discard dropped traffic, rather than sending an ICMP 
unreachable.

Is there a method to do this ?

I looked at sniping and setting the reply number to 0, but this didn’t seem possible.

Many thanks
