When using the realsecure make sure to untick the box that says tag
realsecure kills in the sensor properties.  If you do this the kill will
look like a standard reset rather than initiated by realsecure.

Is it a good thing to use RealSecure_Kill, or is it just letting the bad
guys know the IDS I am running without any value.

I would be interested in knowing the conditions under which compainies are
triggering RealSecure_Kill.  We have what I consider an aggressive stance.
If the attack is ranked high and it is against a service or OS we run I kill
it.  After an extensive set of HTTP_HEAD alerts recording someone attempting
various HTTP and cgi attacks I am considering RealSecure_Killing all
HTTP_HEAD attempts.  I am concerned it would be a "feel good" act that would
tell more to the bad guy then I would deny them?
