RE: Open Source IDS Solution?

Hi

Snort is a good, especially for the flexability and good user community.  
Also the packet inspection via BASE is pretty easy, better than Cisco IDS 
and some netscreen products I've used.  If you are looking for a open source 
app for security information management, check out ossim.

I use snort, Cisco IDS, netscreen, and ISS and personally like snort better 
than all of the above.

If you are looking for a good corellation tool and can get some budget 
approved for it, I would check out CS MARS.

Good luck

Personally I think snort is the best sensor ive seen, add that with the 
speed that.  The difference I think is what you do with your alerts 
(Correlation technology).

There are a number of "Open source" correlation engines out there.  One that 
ive always liked was Open Aanval by remote assesment.  They have started to 
sell it how but from memory there is still an open source / free limited 
version version.  Its called Aaanval or something..

Hello folks,

I am working on a study to deploy some IDS over my company's network, and I 
would like to know what GOOD and RELIABLE Open Source IDS are out there. I 
could not find a comparative sheet of any kind (or at least, not a recent 
one) so I am asking you guys if you have any good ideas. I already know 
Snort. What are the other ones?

Thank you for your help!
