Recently my boss asked me if i would like to takle on the task of implementing an IDS.
Now, I hardly know anything about network security and it absolutely fascinates me.
I've done some reading on some free or extremely low cost IDS solutions (being I work for a K-12 school system, and they can barely affort to pay me.) snort seems to be the most popular IDS app. I was wondering, has anyone heard of the EagleX package and what are your opinions of that package? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
