We are researching about basics of IDS. I hope you can have some time to help us answer the next survey: 1. In your opinion, which is the best IDS ?
The one I use.
2. Why it is the best IDS?
Because I'm most familiar with it and can make the most productive use of it.
3. What's your opinion about SNORT ?
Snort rocks. (This is a personal opinion and does not reflect an professional endorsement that should influence your decision about IDS and Snort in particular. In other words, while I stated my opinion, it really shouldn't matter to you as you should form your own opinion about Snort and other IDS software)
4. Which is the future of IDS ?
Despite Gartners prediction that IDS is dead, it will be a necessity, akin to burglar alarms and watch-dogs, to inform you when you have security problems on your network. Badly designed/developed and/or quickly released software, and an every increasing complexity in software and client/server computing infrastructures, will ensure that IDS consoles will flood their operators with alerts of real and perceived threats for years to come. Cheers, Frank -- It is said that the Internet is a public utility. As such, it is best compared to a sewer. A big, fat pipe with a bunch of crap sloshing against your ports.
