Topic: Using Host Attribute Tables

Host Attributes are a powerful, but often overlooked function in Snort. You can add notes to a host profile, set the business criticality, or provide any other information that you choose.

You can use host attributes in host profile qualifications, which constrain the data you collect while building a traffic profile, and also can limit the conditions under which you want to trigger a compliance rule.
