hello! i have been experimenting with NIDS (snort) on linux, but with
a single sensor only. I worked with snort, coupled with adodb, acid
etc, but didn't come across drdb or heartbeat. Could you please give
me pointers as to what these are, and where can I get more info on
them? Also, if you have some documentation done on the above and can
be released, it'll be useful if i can go thru it.
Am currently running snort on FC2.
Thanks and regards

Hi all,
I am now designing an NIDS solution. In the design, I would like to
include high availability (HA) feature for my NIDS solution so that when
one of the sensor is dead, the other (resilient) sensor can take up the
monitoring job automatically.
If the NIDS is not running in stealthy mode, I think I could use the
Cluster service of Windows to monitor the network in HA mode. (assuming
both sensors can listen to all traffics in the network).
However, if I need to run the NIDS in stealthy mode, could I also use the
Cluster service to monitor the network in HA mode? Are there any products
already enabling HA feature?
Thank you very much.

Pong
I've installed two snort sensors logging to a MySQL database with
internal storage, using heartbeat, drdb and some hacks, in high
availability. But it runs under Linux. If you are interested, post
another message and I will tell you how I did it, but you talk about
Windows, so I don't know if you are interested in the information.
Regards.
