Default [Snort-users] Snort IPS Functionality

Hello all,

I'm interested in using snort on a FreeBSD machine as an IPS.
I've read the docs on the website and as far as I can see the only available
"IPS" functionality exists on Linux, using iptables. Does this actually just
drop the questionable packet - or is it generating firewall rules? And does
any of the IPS functionality work on FreeBSD at all? There was a project a
while ago called Hogwash, which would do exactly what I'm interested in -
but that seems long dead.



Thanks in advance

Dave
