OSSIM Fedback

[Koolk3 <koolk3 () gmail com>]

Hello everyone,

I have been following these lists for some time now and have seen some
messages on OSSIM (www.ossim.net) [Open Source Security Information
Management]. It seems like a great product but lacks documentation and
reviews on the Internet.

I am looking for some feedback on the usefulness and practicaility
(interms or maintenance and configuration) of this software. I am
mainly interested in OSSIM as a corelation tool / log analysis for
now. But if it works well as an IDS I would like to propose this as an
alternative to commercial IDS to the management.

Has anyone tried the latest version of the product (0.9.9)? Any
feedback on installation and usability would be great.

I would be very much interested in hearing your success or horror
stories with this.

I have searched the web for 3rd party reviews on this. Haven't found
much. So if you know of any please let me know.

Thanks.

KoolK3
