Snort Installation and Basic Usage Part Two

Added by Papergrl

Description: Part I of this article focused on the installation and basic usage of the snort intrusion detection system (IDS) on the Linux platform, including running snort as a command line sniffer and loading snort with a pre-defined rule set. This article will take a look at some further methods and programs that can be used in conjunction with snort to more reliably detect and fend off intrusions. We will also examine how rules are written to suit special case scenarios.
