This assignment provides a practical analysis of implementing an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) using Snort. It begins by defining IDS and its role in detecting attacks, mentioning software options like Techmint, Snort, and Wireshark. The core functionality of an IDS, including logging activities, sending alerts, and updating security policies, is discussed. The assignment then focuses on Snort, detailing its features such as traffic analysis, TCP fundamentals, Linux fundamentals, and attack analysis. It outlines the steps to install and use Snort as a packet tracer and IDS, providing examples of command-line usage and output analysis, including interpreting statistics like source and destination ports, event messages, and TCP dumps. The assignment uses a practical approach to demonstrate how Snort can be used to identify potential network intrusions by analyzing captured network traffic.
