One way to detect a NIDS is to launch attacks and see if you are then shunned from the network. This is a good indication that a hyperactive NID is at work. Also if your connection gets reset when you attempt an exploit that is another tip-off. As far as fingerprinting goes, if you where knowledgeable about default rulesets you might be able to determine a NID
by
its reactions, or lack of action, to certain attacks.
I think think you'll find that most IDS have the auto response facility turned off Andy www.networkintrusion.co.uk ''' (0 0) ----oOO----(_)---------- | The geek shall | | Inherit the earth | -----------------oOO---- |__|__| || || ooO Ooo
