Protect your network with Snort: the high-performance, open source IDS
Snort gives network administrators an open source intrusion detection system that outperform proprietary alternatives. Now, Rafeeq Ur Rehman explains and simplifies every aspect of deploying and managing Snort in your network. You'll discover how to monitor all your network traffic in real time; update Snort to reflect new security threats; automate and analyze Snort alerts; and more. Best of all, Rehman's custom scripts integrate Snort with Apache, MySQL, PHP, and ACID — so you can build and optimize a complete IDS solution more quickly than ever before.
A good overview, with some examples, but the book lacks depth. But as a quick-start book, it is excellent, just don't expect to understand what you are doing or to be able to tune the system after having read it.
