The Story of Snort

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday October 25, 2005 @02:07AM from the stuff-to-read dept.

gRitteR writes "HNS is running a story of Martin Roesch, the creator of Snort where he tells the entire story of Snort in his words. Roesch covers seven years of development that made this tool one of the most important security software titles ever developed. It's interesting to get all the details on how Snort was initially conceived as well as how it is expected to develop further now after Check Point acquired Sourcefire. There are many technical details and interesting tidbits not available before."

Please, do NOT use ACID!

ACID is no longer being actively maintained, if you want ACID's functionality you should go get BASE! Better yet, go get SGUIL and use Snort as part of a Network Security Monitoring, you'll be glad you did.
