Re: free hIDS, or system assessment tools

[Graeme Connell <gconnell () middlebury edu>]

Wow, broad question.  The quick answer:  YES.  There are MANY tools of 
both types that you've mentioned.  Here are a few Host / NIDS things you 
might want to take a quick look at:

   AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment):  Host based IDS 
like Tripwire
   Prelude:  Hybrid IDS with modules that can act as log monitors, 
NIDS, etc.

There are, I stress, MANY more options for you.  Try going to 
Freshmeat.net and searching for "host ids" to get a few more options.
