TMG can replace Snort as an IDS, except that you don't' have access to the GAPA signature language. -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ball, Dan Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 10:54 AM To: 'isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [isalist] OT: IDS Questions http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- This is a bit off-topic, but I figured that if anyone would know it would be you guys... I'm trying to find a suitable Windows-Based replacement for programs like Snort, as I get really-really sick of digging through tons of propaganda on configuration files to get a program working. Looking at the program a bit, it seems like I should be able to do something similar to Snort with a basic program such as Network Monitor, but I haven't worked with the filters enough to be able to tell if I can do that or not. So, two questions: 1. Can the functionality of Snort be done with Network Monitor? 2. What is the best Windows-Based program for doing IDS monitoring? (freeware preferably) ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
