snort

I wanted to learn more about security so i started to read about vulnerabilities, exploits, penetration testing, etc... but all the time all i could find was very basic and doesn't seem like real life attacks. they seemed so simple and too easy to implement and defend. so i moved to reading about securing the network more than penetrating it, so i went reading about the security best practices and the technical tricks. then it hit me, i wanted to see real scans and attacks, and in the same time my boss wanted to implement an IDS, so IDS it is.
