I have a question/favor which I am sure many here could benefit from, can you all suggest (I will compile a list and distribute) and projects/tasks which I could undertake to get a better understanding of network security and most especially IDS, both host and network based. I am currently a Win 2K sysadmin and have a solid understanding of network security and IDS (mostly from reading). The problem is that I do not have the hands on experience. Hence, I am looking for projects that I could undertake on my personal PC...I do not have a network set-up, so that will be one requirement. I have had people suggest doing weekly log dumps and writing scripts to sort through them for relevant data, etc. Here is my set-up and I am sure some flavor of this pertains to most of us:
Laptop with Dual-Boot Win XP / Solaris 8 ADSL Connection no networked PC's, just the one host. Thanks for your time and suggestions, as I mentioned, I will follow-up and post the responses for those of you who may benefit from this...it will be a solid learning experience.
