Re: Need the list of well know Distributed IDS

[Vic Vandal <vvandal () well com>]

I assume you are looking for Network-based IDS/IPS that can be deployed across a WAN of some sort.  You can deploy 
distributed HIDS also.  Specific names of commercial and open source IDS systems can be easily found with any web 
search.  Which ones you actually evaluate should be based on some pre-defined requirements. Here are some guides worth 
reviewing before and while evaluating products.

http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-94/SP800-94.pdf

Since you asked here are just a few of many available products.  Providing the links is not a personal or professional 
endorsement of any of the listed products.

http://www.skynet-solutions.net/About-EasyIDS

And Snort can be used in a distributed architecture.

Whatever you deploy will not be a silver bullet.  Detecting malware and/or intrusions on one's infrastructure requires 
a multi-pronged approach, using a suite of tools and the staff to maintain and monitor them.  It's not cheap nor easy 
to do a thorough job at it, and even then the likelihood that some attacks will slip through is not zero.

Hi,

I need to know some of the well known distributed intrusion detection
systems (DIDS).
Does Snort and prelude are distributed IDS?
