Open Source Security's Best Kept Secret

Posted by timothy on from the don't-tell-anyone-or-it-won't-be dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Prelude IDS Framework: "Open Source Security's Best Kept Secret" is an overview of the Prelude Project. The article touches upon the long list of devices and log types Prelude understands. As well as Prelude's ability to utilize patched versions of software like Snort, Nagios, Nessus, SamHain, etc. to all report to Prelude. There are also screen shots of two new front ends for Prelude (pylude and prewikka)."

    This is a very ambicious and laudable project. I remember reading about it a year ago ar so, but it looks like it's matured a lot since then.

    Since we now get to combat multi-headed worms, it's fitting that we now have a multi-headed IDS to work with.
