Networkbased IDS (NIDS) Networkbased IDS: Snort (due to many entries on a separate page)
Shadow: One of the first freely available NIDS The Shadow/Snort-CD by Seeker: Documentation and the ISO image are provided. Shoki: a signaturebased NIDS with PostgreSQL Backend Database Firestorm NIDS: Currently sensor-only NIDS. Claims high performance and tries actively to show its superiority to Snort and other free NIDS. BENIDS: an experimental pcap-based NIDS with XML signature files. Supports IDMEF-Output. OpenSource HIDS: OsHIDS: an OpenSource log analysis tool M-ICE: (Modular Intrusion Detection and Countermeasure Environment) OpenSource Hybrid IDS: OpenSource System Integrity Verifier: Tripwire: the well-known commercial system has a somewhat old OpenSource brother Intrusion Prevention: Inline-Snort: a patch for Snort which enables Snort to drop or modify network packets Hogwash: an IPS which was formerly based on Snort. The new H2 engine will replace the Snort engine. (seems no longer to be actively maintained) Miscellaneous Tools: fragroute: an attack router which implements NIDS evasion techniques after the famous Ptacek/Newsham paper "Insertion, Evasion, and Denial of Service: Eluding Network Intrusion Detection ". NADS (Normalized Attack Detection System):a C library to normalizes HTTP urls (currently proof-of-concept code) IDABench: a pluggable framework for intrusion analysis, based on SHADOW tcpreplay: a tool to replay saved tcpdump files at arbitrary speeds |
