Description-en: Snort-to-iptables rule translator
Fwsnort translates Snort rules into equivalent iptables rules and
generates a shell script that implements the resulting iptables
commands.
.
This allows network traffic that matches Snort signatures to be logged
and/or dropped by iptables directly without putting any interface into
promiscuous mode or queuing packets from kernel to user space.
