Re: Windows based (H)IDS

Not as hard to get as one would think, as I have pretty much the same 
offering, not only free but also Open Source, along with other HIDS 
techniques than simply file integrity checking.  I also made softwares for 
monitoring and analysing logs, so that other softwares can be added to the 
mix, like Snort for example, so it can be manageable over a network.  I 
know there are other freely available HIDS softwares for Windows apart from 
the ones I've made (in some cases with the help of other people).

I also happen to have commercial versions for most of these softwares, but 
Open Source software is something I truly believe in.

I agree with you that Snort can be set for an individual NIC, using the -p 
option, which is great because it technically enables NIDS capabilities on 
a fully encrypted network, something we are still far from seeing as the 
norm.  But still something interesting to contemplate.

You should think about setting up a website for distributing your tools 
rather than by e-mail, it makes it easier for everybody, including you.
