About the First Edition of
Snort Intrusion Detection
Overall, I found "Snort " enlightening. The authors have a powerful
understanding of the workings of Snort, and apply it in novel ways.
—Richard Bejtlich, Top 500 Amazon Reviewer
Would I mend this book to someone already running Snort?
Yes! Would I mend this book to someone considering
deploying an IDS? Heck yes! If you attempt to deploy Snort on a pro­
work without reading this book you should be instantly
teleported out of anization and into the "e to
Walmart" greeter position at the nearest bigbox store of the world's
largest corporation.
—Stephen Northcutt, Director, SANs Institute
First, Brian Caswell knows more about Snort than anyone on the
and it shows here. Secondly, the book is over 500 pages long,
and is full of configuration examples. It is the ONE Snort book you
need if you're actually running a corporate IDS. This pig flies. Highly
mended.
—A Reader from Austin, TX
This book has proven to be a breath of fresh air. It provides detailed
product specifics and is a reliable roadmap to actually rolling out an
IDS. And I really appreciate the CD with Snort and the other IDS
utilities. The author team is well connected with and they
obviously had cart blanche in writing this book.
—A Reader from Chestnut Hill, MA
"An awesome book by Snort gurus! This is an incredible book by the
guys from and Sourcefire—this book is just great and
covers everything I could ever have thought to ask about Snort .
