The Great IDS Debate
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) have rapidly become a crucial component of any network defense strategy. Over the past few years, their popularity has soared as vendors have refined their results and increased performance capabilities. At the heart of intrusion detection systems lies the analysis engine. It reviews each packet, determines if it is malicious, and logs an alert if necessary – the core tasks of an IDS. Two different IDS techniques, each favored by separate and loyal camps, have emerged as the preferred engine behind the software. Despite the copious marketing material and fiery online debates, each method has distinct strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we'll examine and compare the two different techniques: signature analysis and protocol analysis.

LogAnalysis.Org
This is the new loganalysis.org! We're dedicated to pulling together a repository of useful information on log analysis for computer security.
Log Analysis is one of the great overlooked aspects of operational computer security. Many organizations spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on intrusion detection systems (IDS) deployments - but still ignore their firewall logs. Why? Because the tools and knowledge are often not there, or the tools that exist are too inconvenient. You should expect that to change. Right now, IDS vendors are up against the wall with the volumes of data they produce; the next wave in security is to try to usefully correlate and process the contents of multiple logs.

i-Catcher
i-Catcher is an innovative PC-Video integration package with sophisticated motion detection and alerting features. Originally devised as a security/surveillance product, i-Catcher is as successful in capturing wildlife images as it is in identifying intruders in your home or business.
In its simplest form i-Catcher is a single application that detects motion in a camera feed, then captures the images and posts them to a web site (look at these examples), or sends them via email (there is also an option for SMS alerting). The i-Catcher Wildlife and Sentry applications can also be connected to i-Catcher Console to provide network-wide monitoring of up to 255 cameras.
