Hi Baron,

Strangely enough, no one has translated the Snort Manual into Spanish
yet. Snortcenter has multi-language support though, and Spanish is
supported.

However, I wonder if there are any *nix IDS out there with docs in
Spanish...good luck!

Hello, Im new in this list, I never used IDS, I want start with one
for Unix (FreeBSD and Linux also), I know about Snort but there are a
lot of rules to configure by hand,, the WIndows users of Snort have a
program in graphic mode to configure their Snort, but we not :-(, is
there any IDS good,with the same level,in graphic mode,or easiest to
learn?,thnx,good luck.

Hi Baron,

Actually, there isn't much to configure rules-wise for Snort. The rules
are there, you just tell Snort if you want to use it in its config file.
If you want graphical management, take a look at SnortCenter[1]. It can
manage both rules and config files centrally, and is easy to setup and
use.

But hey, nothing beats vim and a good read of the Snort manual if you're
on a *nix platform. Even with SnortCenter, the Snort User Manual is a
must read if you want to know more about writing rules.

Good luck, and have fun!

Cheers,

Callan
