Snort for Dummies

Rating:
Summary: Great way to get your feet wet.
Review: If you want to get your feet wet or you've been tasked with deploying a snort system, this is a good way to start. In the typical, humorous, "for dummies" style, this book walks you through getting, setting up and using Snort and the ACID console.
The book also covers how to maintain and tweak the system, once it is up and running. A good effort by the authors.

Review: This is a great book for getting startet on snort. I've used other NIDS, but never braved downloading Snort ofr Windows. This book not only provided very detailed step-by-step instructions it also detailed some very useful tools. I really like that its not OS-centric. And Snort's Great!
