| Snort is a lightweight network intrusion detection system, capable of
performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks. It
can perform protocol analysis, content searching/matching and can be used
to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows,
stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts,
and much more. Snort uses a flexible rule based language to describe
traffic that it should collect or pass, and a modular detection engine.
Snort has a real-time alerting capability, with alert mechanisms for
syslog, a user specified file, a UNIX socket, or WinPopup messages to
Windows clients using Samba's smbclient. |
