Snort is an Intrusion Detection System that sits on a network and watches all the network traffic. It looks for any suspicious activity that may be the result of hacking, virus or malware activity, or any potentially dangerous code going across the network. Any activity is stored in a database that can be viewed on a web front end, and queries can be used to analyze the information. This would allow an admin to assess his/her network and be able to better manage any security threats that may happen. This project was to be used mainly for a university department’s network since these computers are all local administrators and used for security classes that could potentially endanger the rest of the computers on the network.
