RE: [Snort-users] Rules Question

So even using the -o flag, the preprocessors are applied first (before my
'pass' rules)? 

There are a few reasons I'd like to simply ignore traffic before anything
else is applied, including

* internal IPs are masqueraded into a range of external IPs and are
generating port scan alerts. I'd like to ignore the 'legit' traffic
(80,443,21,etc) while not ignoring the potentially bad traffic
(135,137-139,445, IRC bots on 1337).

* on my internal network, my backup server uses RPC pretty heavily, but I
don't want to ignore anything coming from or going to it.

And so on...

If I did all this using a BPF, it would get cumbersome quickly. That's why
I'm searching for an alternative.

Thanks,
Roy
