[ddp] snort : Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package snort, which is part
of the net section, and maintained by Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a
<jfs at computer.org>. 

This package contains : Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System.

Snort is a libpcap-based packet sniffer/logger which can be used as a
lightweight network intrusion detection system. It features rules
based logging and can perform content searching/matching in addition
to being used to detect a variety of other attacks and probes, such
as buffer overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, and
much more. Snort has a real-time alerting capability, with alerts being
sent to syslog, a separate "alert" file, or even to a Windows computer
via Samba.

This package provides the plain-vanilla snort distribution and does not
provide database support (available in snort-pgsql and snort-mysql).
