Did it not come with the docs??
Basically you put it in a machine that has NIC's it can drive (like a PII machine with
3c905's), a 4 gig HDD, and 64-128MB RAM and boot it up. It more-or-less runs off the
CD, reads a small config from the HDD on bootup (after you have configured it.. it's
pretty straight forward), and logs to the HDD. I was not personally overwhelmed by
the interface ( I prefer ISS' heirarchical alerts), but I would say it is considred to
be in the top 5 for NIDS's. It can run stand-alone or, with a Solaris/Linux mgt.
station, in distributed. I want to say the OS is a customization of NetBSD (or
OpenBSD??).
