🛡️ IDS vs IPS: Passive Monitoring vs Inline Blocking

Compares two real network intrusion sensor deployments in 3D: an IDS fed by a SPAN port / TAP mirror that only alerts after a malicious packet has already reached the server, versus an IPS placed inline on the wire that inspects and can drop the same packet before delivery. Send malicious or benign packets and watch the packet path, sensor inspection pause and event log differ between the two modes.
