Interesting. Snort looks like a pretty cool tool. Anyone know more about it? How does it hold up against other intrusion detection packages?
Snort is the most widely used IDS in the world today. > 2,000,000 downloads. It beats every competitor, Cisco, ISS, McAfee, 3COM. Rated #1 by SC Magazine.. etc..etc..etc..
This is the way the Snort rules from the VRT are designed. To look for the Vector (the vulnerability) instead of the exploit. An exploit can be coded a hundred different ways (let's just say for arguements sake) The vulnerability (theoretically) can be had at 1 way.
Actually in recent conversations I have had with University types. They are admitting that OS X is getting hacked more and more now. When I asked "how"? I was told through SSH. Well, SSH is off by default, you have to turn it on to create a vulnerability.
and don't get me wrong, I am a mac user, I'm sitting in Terminal D of the Atlanta Airport on my Powerbook right now... But not only do you have to turn on SSH, but you have to have a common username and password too.
He's got live pictures, webcams, and live scanner feeds on the site. Support him, and give him some feedback. This guy is down there in the thick of it, and he's giving us some real feedback. Not what has been filtered through the media.
You, are of course implying by that statement, that this *points* is the beginning of Slashdot's decline. This is not the beginning, it's virtually more grease on the rails of the sled of decline.
The computers that sit on DOD classified Secret networks are no more secure than the rest of them. Probably less secure seeing as how they trust this network. The network is encrypted using hardware encryption keys. That's basically the only difference.

In fact, with newer albums, you get the whole book!

Since they rejected my article about it, I'll post it here.
