I have been trialling Intrushield and it logs and displays packet info just fine, have you installed Ethereal and pointed Intrushield to it's location? Also Intrushield tells you what sig it has fired on in the alert viewer....... Regards Tuffer "I could soar like an Eagle but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines" We have intrushield deployed here, and I am disappointed. The ability to create user-defined signatures is very poor. There is no way to make a signature to look at all ports and protocols, so with a UDS, you must specify a protocol for it to look at. There is no command-line access to write signatures, so you must use their Java GUI. There is no way to import sigs from other vendors, such as snort, and the rule flexibilty is just not there. The built-in signatures is a closed-set, so you do not know what IntruShield's signatures are firing on. You also cannot filter out traffic. There are filters available, but they only work on signature based detection. Anomaly detection will still fire on the filtered traffic. I have yet to get the logging capability to work. You can set it to log X packets, but it won't display them when you view alerts. Hope this helps, Chris On 18 Dec 2004 01:49:19 -0000, Jacob Winston <jctx09_at_yahoo.com> wrote:
I have been evaluating Intrushield and ISS but am still unsure on which
route to take. Does anyone have compelling info on why Intrushield is better or vice-versa? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
