IDS Software

I'm starting a project for which I would like some quality IDS software. IMHO this opens up a whole can of worms, and will probably start a great discussion, but that's probably good on the whole. First, the requirements. The IDS system must be: * Free * Run on FreeBSD, and/or maybe Linux. * Allow both 'router' detection (where the host acts as a router) and 'passive' (where the host is simply a sniffer on a lan). * Have a reasonable configuration system to allow common false-positives to be supressed. At this point I know almost nothing about IDS systems, other than that several companies make such products and charge huge fees for them, and that there are a number of open-source products that have no confirmed reputations. Replies to the list are ok, as are private replies. Assuming I get something good I will summarize private replies to the list. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request () tmbg org, www.tmbg.org
