Then somebody can decode it and see a snippet in pcap ascii output or something.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">I’m pretty new to IDS/IPS system, and not sure how exactly Snort does this (maybe the ‘log’ action in rule?). I’m wondering this there any similar functionality the Suricata provide?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><br></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p>Thanks</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p>Samiksha</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><br></o:p></p></div></body></html>
