Snort up For Revamp, says Creator

Posted by Hemos on from the keeping-up-with-the-times dept.

A reader writes:"The creator of Snort, the open-source network-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS), says the software is up for an overhaul. Martin Roesch has told the AusCERT conference IDS has failed to impress the market, citing the inability of many to minimise the number of false alarms triggered by the monitoring devices. The next iteration will include "passive discovery" features."

    I've heard these guys are very talkative, fidgety, and always have nose bleeds. I wouldn't trust any business with them.

    That's a poignant song. It's calamitous how much 21st Century Americans can learn from the mistakes of 20th Century Germans. But what does that have to do with snorting?
