It then uses new rule types (drop, sdrop, reject) to tell iptables/IPFW whether the packet should be dropped, rejected, modified, or allowed to pass based on a snort rule set. Think of this as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that uses existing Intrusion Detection System (IDS) signatures to make decisions on packets that traverse snort
