At my home network, I have a OpenBSD Router, which has one
Gasp. I am shocked (I should write the headline "Suse sekurity guru sez OpenBSD is da bomb" (it's a joke, for readers that are humour impaired ;).
:-) It's a 486 with 24 MB RAM. Much too less power for modern Linux distributions. And I dislike the Linux packetfilter code, I prefer ipfilter.
If you are looking for a IDS for your company, then I would advise you to the following book: Proctor; The practical Intrusion Detection Handbook; Prentice Hall
Another good one is: Network Intrusion Detection. An Analyst's Handbook. ISBN - 0-7357-1008-2
I really dislike this book. It's a waste of time.
There are two other IDS books, that I have listed in my 'Book Review' table at my home page (www.suse.de/~thomas)
Hmm yeah you only gave the above title 3 stars?
Jupp. This book has no real and needful information about today IDS reseach or IDS products. I'm sad about every euro I payed for that book. Maybe I'll use it for cleaning the cage of my girlfriends guinea pigs. ;-)
BTW that wasn't my orgasmatron (belonged to someone else, honest).
Oh, I always thought it was your's. ;-) Bye, Thomas -- Thomas Biege, SuSE GmbH, Schanzaeckerstr. 10, 90443 Nuernberg E@mail: thomas@suse.de Function: Security Support & Auditing "lynx -source http://www.suse.de/~thomas/thomas.pgp | pgp -fka" Key fingerprint = 09 48 F2 FD 81 F7 E7 98 6D C7 36 F1 96 6A 12 47
