I'm writing a network app to mimic the OSSEC
active response feature across multiple hosts,
but without the OSSEC machinery behind it, and
without the per-agent registration.

At any rate, it would be nice if I could execute
an external script from psad, when a block is
inserted in iptables. And it would be nice if the
script were run ONLY when a block was added.

I see the config directives:

ENABLE_EXT_SCRIPT_EXEC
EXTERNAL_SCRIPT
EXEC_EXT_SCRIPT_PER_ALERT

and I see that EXTERNAL_SCRIPT replaces SRCIP in the
command string. Too bad DANGERLEVEL isn't also substituted.
There might even be a few more that might be nice to have...

I also see that I get psad-status emails when an IP is banned;
psad-alert messages can come out several times before being banned...

What would you advise me to do, to get the effect I seek from psad? One
execution of the external script only when an IP is entered into iptables...
