-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2011-0065 2011-01-14 16:34:24 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : fwsnort Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 1.5 Release : 0.el5 URL : http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwsnort/ Summary : Translates Snort rules into equivalent iptables rules Description : fwsnort translates Snort rules into equivalent iptables rules and generates a Bourne shell script that implements the resulting iptables commands.

In addition, fwsnort (optionally) uses the IPTables::Parse module to parse the iptables ruleset on the machine to determine which Snort rules are applicable to the specific iptables policy.

fwsnort is able to translate approximately 60% of all rules from the Snort-2.3.3 IDS into equivalent iptables rules.
