I think before you rubbish snort-inline you should understand what both it and similar products actually do.
Snort inline is not designed to update an IP tables FW with a rule to block all traffic from the attacking IP. Yes you are correct in stating that this could lead to unexpected DoS attacks from a savvy attacker.
Snortinline can take one of the following options when a "bad" packet enters the network.
- sDrop : Silently drop that single packet - Drop : Drop the packet and alert of the attack - Reject : Drop the packet and send a RST to both parties shutting down the TCP flow.
I am not saying that snortinline is without its problems (looking after multiple instances scattered across a network by hand roiling a load of bash/perl can suck), it however does a great job of doing exactly what it claims to do.
I am probably wrong here but.... Don't people who post to Usenet own the copyright of their message? If deja is changing the text ( by adding html tags ) of the body does this not break the copyright? Just a thought.
I totally agree with you on that one, I need something new or interesting to bitch about like errr..errrmmm..... It can have all been done can it?
A first? Usable? Metallica?

Looks like it ay work , I think I have seen the idea somewhere before though,
Once again there will be hundreds of 56K modem users signing up and making the service unusable at most times? As for getting my Metallica collection........... Go and >/dev/null yourself.
Once again people are losing out because of lawyers/Judges perception of damage / abuse. I am sure that the judge that took this case doesn't know what "Packets being routed" means , he will probably file it under sexual abuse in his archive. Please America, sort it out. Ill hate it if the UK starts on the suing drug coz we have enough problems with censorship as it is.
With the US Failing at everything they have done reacently, a bit of a kick up the bum from another country will be good for them. Look how much they managed to do in the 60's with the race with the USSR.
If I remember correctly, is there not some huge amount of cash being given to the 1st person who manages to do something like this? I don't rate his chances though, Amateur rocket builders have tried to get their small "toys" into space for years and have not managed it.
I have just downloaded that latest nightly and am using it now. Its a big improvement over the last version I downloaded ( Mile 12? ) verry impressed. I just hope that it becomes nore stable than the famous "NutScrape"
Stella Must be the worst beer in the world! I just neck down any generic Larger I can find.

I was woken up early one morning when the G.M of my company rang me to ask if I was connected to and using PC anywhere on his workstation. A Cracker had got in and the G.M actually watched the bugger use his PC He started up a chat session but the guy ran like his arse was on fire. He/She did a good job of covering their back, I could not find out who or where he/she was from. The budget for network security was raised significantly after that;-)
Sorry US but what is the point of creating a law station " You cant download this code if you are outside the us" when you cant enforce them! Come on how many people out there have downloaded 128bit encrypted programs from the US before they were allowed? I bet there are a fair few ( me _NOT_ being one of them)
( Dont know if I spelt it right but you prpbably know what i am talking about ) The SESS Glasses sound like A must have for working with windows, no more GPF's!!!! A SEP ( somebody else's problem ) field would be nice to put around Photocopiers, telephones and other household devices. I am a network engineer not a F-King electrician, I don't know how to fix peoples toasters so if i dont know they exist it might stop people from asking me to do it.
I think that it _must_ have been brought up before but cant be bothered trawling through 1000's of posts and I am quite new to/. The site is great, however the only thing ( in my opinion )that bring it down is many of the posts by anonymous cowards. I respect the online privacy but don't you think that it is being slightly abused? If I post something stupid and it ends up in a flame war then at least you know who you are insulting. Come on guys own up to your actions.
From my initial investigation it looks like it is totally MS Specific. So own up then how many/. readers have been kicked in the balls? Come out of the closet all of you!

Well I once received a well used packaging tape gun inside a brown cardboard box that contained my mini skateboard.
maybe they should stash one of those " Build it Yourself Space ship kits" in the yard.
A rose by any othername would smell as sweet...
An AOL On any other H/W Playform is still AOL.
I hope you are taking the piss.
Well if you have never heard of evolution where have you been?
I fully understand the subject of this story but i can see your point. A news article should be easy to read and understood by anybody.

I was once asked a question that confused the hell out of me...
What is the scariest
A Cheese
B Lettuce
I vote for cheese, anyone else?
point taken. grrrr.
Or MS Windows.
So whats the point you are trying to make?
;-)
I am not sure about you, but watching people die is not my idea of fun.

Are islands like Stars / Asteroids ? Does the discoverer get the right to name it?
I wonder what it would do if Arthur Dent came along and asked for a cup of tea?
