I am wondering if anyone can give me any idea as to how well, or not, a
Snort installation (of whatever is latest) would compare to using the
IDS/IPS features of my SonicWall firewall (a Pro 4060, running their
latest firmware). I have the firewall, with those features licensed. I
could set up Snort. I'm trying to decide the merits of either decision.

Hi- First, I assume that you know that you will be told Snort is better on a snort-users mailing list.<g> But in all seriousness I would run both. If you have the resources to manage two different IDS solutions, it can only be a good thing. Just like most of us run multiple anti-virus solutions on our mail servers, two different IDS's will better alert us to nefarious activity. Hope that helps, Kevin ------------------- BASE Project Lead http://sourceforge.net/projects/secureideas http://base.secureideas.net The next step in IDS analysis!
