Hi, 

I am the colleague mentioned in MR. Munn's post. I have been coding AIRIDS 
and I just wanted to say a few more things about what we have been doing.

AIRIDS attempts to remedy the problem of erroneous alerts through the use 
of strong network intelligence. AIRIDS has what is called "Inventory 
Modules" that use freely available security tools to map out a given 
network and use that gained knowledge to filter out any attacks that do 
not represent a threat.

The modules consist of a regular module that actively interrogates a 
network while a passive module sits on the wire and observes traffic and 
gets it's intelligence through that act. This is useful for 
devices/servers/whatever that you have connected to your network that have 
a weak stack.

Later,
B. Thomason
