Securing NT4 Server Websites

I agree with Ivan Coric, snort is great and acid too. Demarc gets good press and it deserves it but you pay for it now. Look at MRTG for routers activity which is worth noting in an IDS system. Tripwire is also worth a note for host based intrusion detection. Add arpwatch for mac addresses
