Intrusion Detection
In case you’ve never heard of it. Intrusion Detection is the process of identifying anomalous traffic on a network. It’s what a couple of us who maintain this website do for our jobs.
In basic terms, the idea is to monitor traffic both incoming to and outgoing from a given network to try and identify misuse, intrusion, and even sometimes general misconfigurations.
SANS has an excellent FAQ, if you want to know more.
Do any of you perform IDS related functions?
