Description-en: flexible Network Intrusion Detection System - ruleset
Snort is a libpcap-based packet sniffer/logger which can be used as a
lightweight network intrusion detection system. It features rules-based
logging and can perform content searching/matching in addition to
detecting a variety of other attacks and probes, such as buffer
overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, and much more.
Snort has a real-time alerting capability, with alerts being sent to
syslog, a separate "alert" file, or even to a Windows computer via Samba.
.
This is the Snort default ruleset, which provides a basic set of network
intrusion detection rules developed by the Snort community. They can be
used as a basis for development of additional rules. Users using Snort to
defend networks in production environments are encouraged to update their
local rulesets as described in the included documentation or using the
oinkmaster package.
