Title: Snort - Lightweight Intrusion Detection for Networks
Author: Martin Roesch
Abstract: An overview of Snort NIDS
Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) are an important part of any
network security architecture. They provide a layer of defense which
monitors network traffic for predefined suspicious activity or patterns, and
alert system administrators when potential hostile traffic is detected.
Commercial NIDS have many differences, but Information Systems departments
must face the commonalities that they share such as significant system
footprint, complex deployment and high monetary cost. Snort was designed to
address these issues.
