D'oh.... -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net]On Behalf Of Jason Hammerschmidt Sent: 13 March 2002 17:39 To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] Naming convention of Snort Why name Snort a NIDS when it's really a Host based IDS.. often being used as an attempted NIDS via Ethernet taps/port mirroring. So I don't start a flame war, I'm assuming NIDS is an inline, or inband IDS at the point of an interconnection from one network to another (like a router/firewall/single transparent bridge). Also, this is strictly a curiousity question, I very much like Snort. In various articles/docs, Snort is often referred to as lightweight, is this only because it's non commercial? I'm confused by this term, although it seems to be disapearing recently. Anyone? -- Jason Hammerschmidt - direct: 416.643.8560 let the flame wars begin. _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=ort-users _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
