	Snort -- The poor man's intrusion-detection system
		Snort was originally developed as a network intrusion-detection system designed to run on Linux platforms, but has been successfully ported to a number of other environments, including Windows, BSD Unix, Solaris/SunOS and even MacOS X, among others.
		One of the greatest advantages (or disadvantages, depending upon your point of view!) to Snort is the fact that its open-source nature allows security professionals around the world to develop customized rules and contribute them to the community's knowledge.
		I agree Snort is open source, however I think it would be misleading to describe it as a poor-man's IDS.

	Manpage of SNORT
		Snort uses a flexible rules language to describe traffic that it should collect or pass, as well as a detection engine that utilizes a modular plugin architecture.
		Snort has a real-time alerting capability as well, incorporating alerting mechanisms for syslog, a user specified file, a UNIX socket, or WinPopup messages to Windows clients using Samba's smbclient.
		Snort logs packets in either tcpdump(1) binary format or in Snort's decoded ASCII format to logging directories that are named based on the IP address of the "foreign" host.

	snort/doc/README.FLEXRESP2 - view - 1.1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Snort is a passive system (except when used in 'inline' mode).
		In a passive configuration, the process of active response is a race between Snort and the endpoints in network communication.
		If you attempt to use the resp keyword in a Snort rule and you receive an error message indicating the resp keyword is unknown, your Snort binary has not been compiled with either flexresp or flexresp2 functionality.

	SANS Institute - Intrusion Detection FAQ: Running Snort under Windows
		Snort is a very command line oriented which means that the user needs to understand what they want to get out of the tool and how the tool is to report detects before implementing it.
		Snort is also able to perform content filtering as evidenced by the number of "anonymous ftp" alerts I received from starting my FTP server on my snort-enabled system.
		The reporting capabilities of snort are somewhat limited and can seem confusing to the average user due to it’s design of creating a new directory for every host detect and the technical detail in the alerts.ids file.

	BigAdmin Feature Article: Introduction to Intrusion Detection With Snort
		Snort utilizes descriptive rules to determine what traffic it should monitor and a modularly designed detection engine to pinpoint attacks in real time.
		Snort's output modules run when the alert or logging modules of Snort are called and format the output data.
		Snort rules are usually written in one line but may, like shell code, span multiple lines by appending the backslash (\) character to the end of an incomplete line.

	redhat.com \| Securing your system with Snort
		Snort was written over a weekend in 1998 by Martin Roesch.

	FreshPorts -- security/snort
		This allows Snort to be used as a sort of "poor man's intrusion detection system" if you specify what traffic you want to record and what to let through.
		With that said, there still is ports/99862 that is still open (re: bring security/snort to 2.6.0) which I have it the wall on trying to get the port to deinstall cleanly due to the optional nature of some components.
		The Snort stream4 preprocessor (spp_stream4) incorrectly calculates segment size parameters during stream reassembly for certain sequence number ranges which can lead to an integer overflow that can be expanded to a heap overflow.

		Depending on your OS and CPU architecture, installing Snort may be as simple as typing in three words and hitting Enter, or it can be as fun as having oral surgery without the benefit of anesthesia.
		Snort does not come with an installer application; nor is there a 250-page installation, administration, and user's guide in a spiral-bound book with glossy pages.
		Snort depends on a few libraries to be present on your system before it will operate properly.

	ISP-Planet - Value-Added Services - Intrusion Detection Systems - Snort & Sourcefire
		In many ways, Snort is a great example of the power of the open source community.
		Roesch says Snort's greatest strength lies in its flexibility, in the fact that you can adjust it to handle intrusion detection however you want.
		"The idea of Snort was to give people the best free, open source intrusion detection system we could, and we were pretty successful at that," he said.

	Snort IDS with Mandrake 8.2 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Snort (“The Open Source Network Intrusion Detection System”) really isn’t very hard to use, but there are a lot of command line options to play with, and it’s not always obvious which ones go together well.
		This mode is the most complex mode but is allowing Snort to analyse network traffic for matches against a user defined rule set and perform several actions based upon what it sees.
		The configuration of Webmin and Snort on IDS Sensor is similar the same like explained in 3.1.5.

	Buffer overflow flaw socks Snort \| Tech News on ZDNet
		Snort is a network based intrusion detection system (IDS) which is used for sniffing data on a network and comparing it to known attack signatures.
		Snort logs any suspicious activity that it detects, allowing system administrators to respond to attacks or use collected data in forensic applications.
		Under certain conditions, this vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain a foothold in a network by compromising a snort system--however, this can be avoided if the IDS is set up properly.
