Try the open source security testing methodology manual (http://www.osstmm.org) -- there is a module on testing IDS.

Does anyone have a generic checklist or checklist for Realsecure IDS in specific from which I can take input and benchmark my chekclist. I have used the following procedure to prepare a checklist. It could be of use to others also. An independent person (preferable) or the same person has to obtain all the detail product and technical literature for Dragon. Review the implementation against the product and technical literature and also against the business objectives and specific objectives for which the IDS was procured to measure the performance.

Does anyone have such a checklist for testing the IDS?

Our experience is that ISS' solution is in fact one of the easier to manage while Symantec's is more difficult. The best solution that we have seen, however, is Enterasys' Dragon product for manageability, cost, and effectiveness.

I am trying to implement an IDS and not sure on which brand to implement, currently we use Checkpoint Firewall-1 for our firewall. I have heard that real secure IDS is good for integrating with Checkpoint. My question is does anyone have any recommendations on an IDS that is easy to manage and not to pricey. What I am looking for in the IDS features is to have it e-mail or if possible send a Text Page to a cell phone or pager to alert of attacks, easy to manage, and integrate with Checkpoint if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dennis
