Re: [Snort-users] Re: Inline IP_Forwarding and other simple questions?

I am trying to set up Snort-inline. When I enable "config layer2resets:" it
dies. Do I need to include the MAC of the bridge group, in my case,
00:04:23:AD:ED:BA to get it to reset connections with IPTABLES?

config layer2resets: 00:04:23:AD:ED:BA

eth0 00:04:23:AD:ED:BA
eth1 00:04:23:AD:ED:BB
br0 00:04:23:AD:ED:BA

Also, concerning rules for Snort-inline. Do I take to rules included in the
tarball and modify the *.rules to something like this:

drop icmp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"ICMP ISS Pinger";
itype:8; content:"ISSPNGRQ"; depth:32; reference:arachnids,158;
classtype:attempted-recon; sid:465; rev:3;)

or

sdrop icmp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"ICMP ISS Pinger";
itype:8; content:"ISSPNGRQ"; depth:32; reference:arachnids,158;
classtype:attempted-recon; sid:465; rev:3;)

or

reject icmp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"ICMP ISS Pinger";
itype:8; content:"ISSPNGRQ"; depth:32; reference:arachnids,158;
classtype:attempted-recon; sid:465; rev:3;)

or

drop icmp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET any (msg:"ICMP ISS Pinger";
itype:8; content:"ISSPNGRQ"; depth:32; reference:arachnids,158;
classtype:attempted-recon; sid:465; rev:3;)

or something like these?

Thanks,

Michael
