Intrusion Detection On The Cheap  - LinuxFest Northwest 2011

Presentation by Gary Smith, Information System Security Officer, Molecular Science Computing, Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA.

You'd really like to have an IDS (Intrusion Detection System) to monitor your internal or external network. But setting up an IDS is lot like a "free" puppy. Both require a lot of set up, clean up, care and feeding, and ongoing maintenance. What if it doesn't have to be that way? Using a repurposed server and Open Source Software, such as Fedora 14, iptables, psad, fwsnort, and others, you can have an effective IDS that doesn't require constant care and feeding or constant attention. The presentation will cover set up, configuration, and usage of the IDS on the cheap.
