Greetings,

Yes Snort is very good but gives a lot of False possitive, don't you think?

BTW, is it getting sent on the mailing list ?

Learn to ignore it.  I've had several broadband providers and I always
make sure to keep my logview running when my workstation is on (one of
these days I'll import the MIBs to my Linux box so I'll have real
logging).

Any way, the point is I get never-ending streams of attempted IIS
exploits, SQL exploits, etc. As long as the firewall is dropping the
connection you have nothing to worry about.

The stuff you *do* have to worry about is unexplained traffic to ports
you are running services on.  Snort is considered to be a pretty good
free NIDS that you could deploy if you're concerned about watching your
services.
