Wow ... all sorts of good stuff in this thread!

Re: Symantec

Yep - Symantec bought Axent. Prior to that, Symantec also
acquired L3 (the guys who made Surveyor). L3 has some NIDS
folks with operational and development experience from the
Air Force. No product in a class of Real Secure or NFR
though and I have no clue how their plan's meld with anyone's
from Axents.

Re: Open Source vs. Commercial Security Tools

Good luck arguing this point guys! Although I will say that
most of the information posted by Intrusion.Com about Snort
is incorrect. Last I checked, it implemented defrag (thanks
to Dragos) and also had one of the more advanced port scan
detectors in any IDS I knew of (from Silcon Defense).
