File Size625.78 MB

Snort is an open-sourced intrusion detection and prevention system that allows for a high level of customization. This Linux utility is easy to deploy and can be configured to monitor your network traffic for intrusion attempts, log them, and take a specified action when an intrusion attempt is detected. It has the ability to perform real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It uses a series of rules that help define malicious network activity and uses those rules to find packets that match against them and generates alerts for users.
