1. The PIX 506E scans for 55 known attacks, what are they?
1. The PIX 506E scans for 55 known attacks, what are they? Also, does it
scan for other 'threats'? Should there be another device in use for IDS
aside from the PIX?

No. I wouldn't think so. I would believe its similar a set of static
signatures...

Ofcourse. PIX is a firewall, not an IDS
2. I would like to use the PDM, however I can not download it from
Cisco. The PIX IOS is 6.3, but I'm not sure what else I need to take
advantage of the web based interface.
HTTP or HTTPS to a firewall.... hmm, I wouldn't. There are a plethora of
tools available to do everything you would need without using a web
interface. Look at RANCID for config collection and look for a program
called PIXCRIPT.EXE ( a wine-doze program )that creates a config for you.
