Re: [Snort-users] Ok, Ok - I know - http_inspect

Yes, but is that really gen_id 119? I mean you can
threshold the snort sigs but I don't know that you can
threshold inspect alerts! Anyone try to threshold
decode or inspect alerts? I don't know because I have
not looked at threshold too much, but I do know that
you have to specify a sig_id, which these particular
alerts do not have. Good luck sir!

Cheese!
