Network Intrusion Detection Systems Fail to Impress

    No they didn't. It was posted by "TheBongPipe" and I don't see how you could possibly snort that

    ... As for stability, I think this report is correct, the only IDS I've used that didn't crash consistanty was snort (with ACID)

    Hmmm. Every time i snort, especially with acid, I end up crashing for at least the better part of the next day. Of course hitting the old bong pipe is a nice part of the crash, but all in all I try to stay away from snort. Acid is ok every once in a while, but peyote, salvia, and good ol shrooms are much preferable.

    I've never tried snorting acid before. Do you see pretty colors?
