ID Systems spot bad things happeing on your network - sometimes.

[John McDonald <Johnm () Networkguys com>]

A quick note to congratulate NFR, and specifically Marcus J. Ranum, for
the exceptional engineering on the Network Flight Recorder product. An
outstanding article was written in the latest issue of Network Magazine
about the reality of intrusion detection systems
(http://www.networkmagazine.com/magazine/current/9907def.htm). Network
Magazine says "Of the systems tested, only Network Flight Recorder (NFR,
www.nfr.net) has been written to correctly maintain TCP state and
reassemble packets so that it would now succeed in the tests. The
remainder of the network-based IDSs still work much the way as they did
over two years ago." NFR is a bar none IDS. Check it out for yourself.
It's worth the read.

Thanks Marcus. Keep up the great work!
