Chris Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Snort Intrusion Detection System System name: snort Type: non-GNU Description: Snort is an open source network intrusion detection system, capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks. It can perform protocol analysis, content searching/matching and can be used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more. 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 has three primary uses. It can be used as a straight packet sniffer like tcpdump(1), a packet logger (useful for network traffic debugging, etc), or as a full blown network intrusion detection system. http://www.snort.org/dl/snort-2.0.0rc1.tar.gz Other Software Required: libpcap is the only real dependency, everything else is optional. Other Comments: What we\'d love to be able to do is have savannah be a CVS mirror of our future internal server so that we can implement a patch policy. My work number is 410-423-1941 (Chris Green) if you have any questions. _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
