SNORT as Intrusion Detection System or IDS, but that is an IDS.
I want these entries as small safety caps without delving into technicalities, rather as general culture, later on I will do the techniques.
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a program to detect unauthorized access to a computer or network.
Actually this does not clarify much and does not tell the complete truth, since an IDS only "INTENT" to detect attempts to compromise the security of a system or NET.
IDS looks for predefined patterns that involve any type of suspicious or malicious ACTIVITY on the network or host.
An IDS is like an Antivirus but more powerful and robust, an antivirus with STEROIDS jajajaja
Something not done by Antivirus is to anticipate any suspicious activity, the IDS is not designed to stop an attack but can generate certain types of response to them.
As we can see SNORT is more than a firewall, more than an antivirus, more than any program that can occur to us right now: D
Until the next time God blesses you
