Snort is one of the most foremost Open-Source and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in the world. Snort IPS uses series of rules which help define the malicious network activities and uses the rules for finding packets that match against them and even generate alerts for users. Snort can be easily deployed inline to stop these packets. Snort has three primary uses: As a packet sniffer just like tcpdump, as a packet logger — that is useful for network traffic debugging, and it can be used as a full-blown network intrusion and prevention system. Snort can be easily downloaded as well as configured for personal and business uses.
