How to disable IDS without Webui access

Security Intrusion Prevention
1

Hi,

I messed up the IDS config and can’t access the webui to disable it. I’m left only with the console access, but don’t see how to proceed to disable IDS now. Does anyone know how it can be done from the console ?

The IPS module is called suricata.
Therefore you can control it from the CLI with /etc/init.d/suricata.

To stop the command is
/etc/init.d/suricata stop
