When I started out in IT and networking I thought the cool place to be
was network security. My first working Linux box was a Firewall. At some
point I found out about Snort and thought it might be cool to play with.
Intrusion detection ( what Snort does) is cool. Or so I thought.
The short story is that I logged so much data I didn't know what to do
with it. People are knocking but it doesn't mean their a true threat.
Shortly after my bad experience with Snort the industry changed. Instead
of just listening for an attack why not listen and then respond. Thats
when the IT industry moved to intrusion prevention instead of intrusion
detection.
I think the new model is much better. I'm not sure where that leaves
Snort. The last time I played with it was maybe 01.
