Solutions Fast Track

Snort Flexible Response Plugin

  • Snort's flexible response output plugin performs session sniping.

  • Rules are modified to use the response and react keywords.

  • The response keyword allows you to send TCP resets or ICMP unreachable messages.

  • The react keyword blocks access to Web sites and sends a warning to a user's browser.

SnortSam

  • Snortsam interacts with a variety of open source and commercial routers and firewalls.

  • SnortSam consists of two parts: an agent that runs on the gateway device and accepts commands, and an output plugin for Snort that sends commands based on triggered rules.

  • The SnortSam agent is configured using a simple text file called snortsam.conf.

Fwsnort

  • Fwsnort translates Snort signatures into their equivalent IPtables rulesets.

  • Snort rules can be translated in batch mode or individually by the Snort SID value.

  • Rules that are triggered will reset connections with a TCP RST or ICMP port unreachable for UDP attacks or the connection can be dropped without a reset.

  • Fwsnort requires the IPtables string match kernel patch.

Snort Inline

  • Snort Inline can alter or drop packets in real time as they flow from one network segment to another.

  • Snort Inline adds the new rule keywords: drop, reject, sdrop, and replace.

  • Snortconfig allows you to easily update your rules to work with Snort Inline.

  • Snort Inline is used as part of the Honeynet Project's Honeywall CDROM.

Modsecurity

  • Modsecurity is an Apache Web server module that sits inline between the Web client and server to detect and prevent attacks.
