Hi Theuns,
Firstly I'd start by reading the FAQ. The current version is 0.6.1 dated
August 5, 1999. It is available at
http://www.shake.net/misc/network-intrusion-detection.htm
Secondly I'd go and visit the Security Search Engine at
http://www.securitysearch.net and look in the following categories:
General Information -> Intrusion Detection
Products -> Intrusion Detection
Research & Education -> Intrusion Detection
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Simon Johnson

Subject: IDS: Introduction / General query
Hi
First, since the mailing list requests it, a brief introduction.  My
name is Theuns Verwoerd; I'm currently an honours (fourth year) student
at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.  As a year project, I'm
writing a document hoping to present an overview of IDS technologies and
associated security tools (honeypots, scanning tools, etc).
Ok, now to my question:  I've been lurking on the IDS mailing list for
some weeks, and reading whatever I could find on the 'net on IDS.  Is
there any way (short of writing an IDS), that one could gain more than a
peripheral understanding of the issues involved?  (The documents that
are available seem to be mostly rather general (i.e. 2-page descriptions
of IDS), or highly specific (i.e. source code)).
Thank you
Theuns
KRN
