Description

Replace the Snort, Bro, and YAF sensors on the "Quick Dev" and "Full Dev" environments with a mechanism that consumes less resources.

These environments are notoriously difficult to work with because the installed services consume nearly all available memory. The Bro, YAF, and Snort sensors, along with the PCAP Replay service, consume a considerable amount of these limited resources.

Replacing these sensors with a lightweight mechanism should free-up additional resources, make the environment easier to work with, and result in faster deployments.
