Hi all,
I am a new member to this group & i am sure i will get your
valuable suggestion for my problem.
I work for an organization where we have almost all the latest
devices in place, which includes L3 Switches, VOIP,High end server &
etc. We have around 1500 desktops & this is a production environment.
My problem
i) My network manager wants me to suggest an IDS, and i googled
yesterday i recommened him - Snort.
ii) I am quite new to IDS and i haven't done even a single
installation of Snort till now.
Can anyone let me know the features of Snort, where this sensor should
be placed in the Network?. Plz dont think that i am not doing my
homework.i have already started to collect information from Snort.org
but i find it a little to difficult to undersatnd the concept.
I need help in how to install Snort?. Finally are there any windows
edition of Snort avaliable.
Regards
Venkatesh
