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."

    This might be mistakenly misinterpreted as some kind of cocaine-related fund raiser for an organization called Revamp.

    I used snort on an IPCOP box. Worked ok for me.

    IDS doesn't work in an enterprise environment though.

    I thought the article title was a Creator telling me to snort up for [a] revamp, and I'm like, nah, I've got coffee.

    Then I realized that "snort" was a noun, not an imperative. Oh.
