“As with any IDS, performance and accuracy are key.
Improvements in accuracy result in reduced false positives and more
focus on actual threats. Performance improvements result in
processing those threats and receiving alerts on them in a timely
manner. In this tip, we’re not going to focus on configuring Snort
to be more accurate, but rather tuning Snort to work faster and in
a more efficient manner with a third-party application,
Barnyard.”
