- Snort IDS
- Snort is a real-time network-based Intrusion Detection System ( (N)IDS)
It is currently the most popular Network Intrusion Detection System surpassing all commercial and open source products.
Snort is lovingly called "The Pig" among its supporters.
Snort listens passively to the network and analyses the traffic that passes by and looks for known bad traffic patterns.
The patterns are defined in the Snort Rules, which are easy to make and distribute.
Snort users often exchange rules that detect certain threats or attacks.
Snort is available in many different versions and for both the Unix and Win32 environment.
For the windows environment we recommend
Eagle X from Engage Security
The software is free and contains a complete installation package of Snort, Database, email notification and webserver and view statistics from Snort live in the web-server.
