Re: Trouble in triggering the snort rule to detect FTP Brute Force attack

Nothing in what Manju said could I even loosely interpret as a homework 
question.  I'm not going to take this thread off-topic but Nigel's 
response was unprofessional, unwarranted, and certainly not something I 
would construe as being in alignment with the rationale behind the 
snort-sigs discussion list to begin with.

It seems to me that Manju asked a legitimate question and was getting 
some good help then Nigel came in and adding nothing but accusations.  I 
guess he had a bad weekend and felt the need to lash out.  Perhaps he 
couldn't source an iPad after long hours of camping out.
