In this entire IDS debate, I would like to recommend reading an old blog post from FX: http://www.phenoelit.net/lablog/paradigms/weglassen.sl Security by weglassen --> Security by omission. I still agree with the concept of replacing an IDS with just a large quantity of tapes on which to archive all traffic. IDSs will never alert you to an attack- in-progress, and by just dumping everything onto a disk somewhere you can at least do a halfways-decent forensics job thereafter. Since everybody and his dog is doing cryptoshellcode these days you won't be all-knowing, but at least you should be able to properly identify which machine got owned first. Cheers, Halvar _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
