Is anyone succesfully running Snort with the FlexResp on a windows platform. I have 
tried the binary from www.silicondefense.com However it produces an error related to 
the LbNetNT file, which according to the release notes is supposed to be included in 
that distribution. I have tried upgrading WinPCAP to the latest version but this did 
not make the error go away. If I use the same package without Flex Resp, it works 
fine. I am logging to MySQL which also affects which binary you choose. This was with 
the 1.8.3 image. Having just visited the site I see there is a new version with more 
information about how to install Libnet manually, I will have to give this a try. 
Anyone have ideas on how to make it work with 1.8.3?

Take a look at the "react" rule option ( 
http://www.snort.org/docs/writing_rules/chap2.html#tth_sEc2.3.24 )

offending connections and/or send a visible notice to the browser (warn 
modifier available soon)."

Currently only appears to support the "block" argument which AFAIK will 
respond to the packets as if the destination had closed the connection (I 
haven't actually tried this yet as I run Snort on Win32 and the version 
I'm using doesn't support this, I really must upgrade it).
