Re: IDS detection approaches

Anyone with a valid license is able to download the signatures to be placed
on your Cisco sensor. Once you have placed them on your sensor, you are
free to open/edit/manipulate or add to the signatures at will.

Open signatures does not mean they are "open source" or free. Without a
Cisco sensor, they won't be much use to you.

If you have a CCO account, you can download the signatures at:
