Introduction to IPS/IDS via Snort
- [Instructor] SNORT operates using detection signatures called rules that you can download from multiple sources, both open-source and paid. Typically, the open-source free rules that are available with a simple registration are 30-days out of date, but the paid options provide day-of-release updates to allow customers to counter threats in near real time for high-stakes security needs. SNORT rules can be custom created by you as a local administrator as well. the entire success of the system depends upon the distributed work of hundreds of thousands of dedicated network security administrators doing their own independent research and uploading their contributions to the group effort. Their copyright rules don't allow us to use their logo, so we found appropriate clip art. But you really need to follow the link to their website and check out their adorable logo. Finally, SNORT is no easy road to follow. Download, and install, and activate it at your own risk as you will with anything…
