I have a single snort host with dual nics, one monitoring internal traffic, one monitoring external traffic (setup in stealth mode). I consistently see this traffic: BAD-TRAFFIC loopback traffic 127.0.0.1:80 W.X.Y.Z:1969 BAD-TRAFFIC loopback traffic 127.0.0.1:80 W.X.Y.Z:1369 BAD-TRAFFIC loopback traffic 127.0.0.1:80 W.X.Y.Z:1177 . . . W.X.Y.Z is the external address of the firewall, which has anti-spoofing enabled. Sometimes the dest IP is from another IP on the subnet, but more often it is the ext firewall IP. Any ideas? Chad
