1) Paperback Book Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection by Syngress. As many others have said, this book had alot of errors. Mostly in language and what not. It´s seriously outdated now, and a new edition is needed (and appears to be on it´s way).¤ 2) Paperback Book Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection by Syngress. You´ll learn how to use Snort as a straight packet sniffer, a packet logger (for network traffic debugging), and a full-blown network intrusion detection system. The book also provides instructions for running Snort on various hardware platforms and OS configurations. A companion CD-ROM contains a fully functional copy of Snort 2.0, the Barnyard alert output utility, the browsing and analyzing tool Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID), the response automation tool Swatch, and other helpful tools. If you want to tap into the power of Snort, make sure you have all the information you need to make the most of it. Let Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection help you take your current computer security system up a notch with the most powerful open-source security tool available. - Raffiudeen Illahideen, IL, USA¤ 3) Paperback Book Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection by Syngress. I´ve been running Snort for since the earliest versions and spend a lot of time on the mail lists, working through problems with other users, etc. I got this book about 6 months ago, read it all the way through, and since then have been referring to it whenever I´ve had questions or problems with Snort. I was initially going to post a review after my initial reading, but wanted to see if I experienced any buyer´s remorse after putting the book through it´s paces a little bit more. Well, its´ half a year later and I´m more impressed with it now than after my initial read. Every time I´ve had a question, I´ve found an answer in this book. I´m not quite sure what web site the reader from Maryland is visiting (it´s certainly not the Snort site) where he found information anything like the Preproccesors chatper in this book. That chatper was obviously the result of some serious, independent research.¤ 4) Paperback Book Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection by Syngress. First of all, this book has way too many grammar mistakes. Secondly, go to the snort web site and download their PDF documents because they are free. I compared the snort documentation against this book and it is almost exactly the same. So they knew how to take snort´s PDF and make it into a book. I will give them credit for that. I expected a lot more than what I had already read on snort´s website. There were a few errors on setting up ACID, but having read snort´s documentation already, it was easily figured out. Too bad I can´t get my money back because if I knew it was this bad, I would have never bought it.¤ 5) Paperback Book Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection by Syngress. The technical content is ok, but I am extremely tired of reading books that contain so many grammatical mistakes that one gets irritated every time a page is turned. This publisher is notorious for this and emails I wrote to them were not answered. This is just not acceptable for an expensive book. Don´t they have proofreaders?¤ 6) Paperback Book Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection by Syngress. The incredible low maintenance costs of Snort combined with its powerful security features make it one of the fastest growing IDSs within corporate IT departments.
Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection is the first book dealing with the Snort IDS and is written by a member of Snort.org. Readers will receive valuable insight to the code base of Snort and in-depth tutorials of complex installation, configuration, and troubleshooting scenarios.
The primary reader will be an individual who has a working knowledge of the TCP/IP protocol, expertise in some arena of IT infrastructure, and is inquisitive about what has been attacking their IT network perimeter every 15 seconds.
