The gabriel package is an enterprise-wide solution. It is easy for a single administrator to protect all the networks and sub-networks in an entire enterprise. One machine on each network segment runs the gabriel client software in addition to that machine's normal workload. These client pieces monitor all traffic on their network segments and report excessive network probing to the gabriel server via the standard syslog facility. The client software DOES NOT need to run on every machine.
Ease of use is a key design goal for gabriel.
It comes with installation scripts for both the server and client pieces. It is a complete package that includes all the necessary software. The full source code is included for those who want to examine or extend the product. For people who want to get started quickly, the package comes with pre-compiled binaries. The package was designed to have a minimal impact on produc- tion systems.
