IDS Terminology, Part Two: H - Z

Added by Papergrl

Description: This is the second of two articles intended to introduce readers to some IDS terminology, some of it basic and relatively common, some of it somewhat more obscure. (To see the first article, please click here.) As a result of the speed of growth of IDSs, and the marketing prowess of some IDS vendors, come confusion has arisen about the proper meaning of certain terms: the same term may be used by different vendors to mean different things. Wherever possible, I have tried to include all terms except where I consider usage of the term to be inaccurate or misleading. This is a living document: if I'm missing any terms or you wish to discuss my interpretation please don't hesitate to contact me.
