This past week’s TechMail tip is Detect intruders on your network with Snort which is a quick primer on how to use the Snort IDS (Intrusion Detection System). Snort is pretty cool if you have the patience to deal with it and the time to invest in setting it up properly. The techmail is, again, just a quick primer but should be enough to perhaps get you interested and some of the comments made by readers may be useful as well.
