Security Portal: Detecting Intruders in Linux Aug 16, 1999, 12 :38 UTC (2 Talkback[s]) (10428 reads)
"An intrusion into your network and host systems by persons unknown is
one of the biggest nightmares for systems administrators."
"... intrusions can happen to anyone, on any public or private network.
In
order to best detect and respond to an intrusion, you must first plan for
an intrusion, then have all the appropriate monitoring capabilities
deployed."
"Building secure systems is not an adequate approach to maintaining long
term host security. By developing solid intrusion detection plans,
performing comprehensive security audits, and scanning both network
segments and host systems, we will have a much better chance at successful
intruder detection."
