Chapter 10. DEPLOYING FWSNORT

With the theoretical discussion in Chapter 9 on the emulation of Snort rule options within iptables behind us, we'll talk in this chapter about how to get fwsnort to actually do something! Namely, we'll discuss the administration of fwsnort and illustrate how it can be used to instruct iptables to detect attacks that are associated with the Snort signature ruleset.
