Anybody use Snort?
I consulting on a business that has limited resources so i am looking to cut some cost, as most of the funds were spent upgraded their end user hardware and migrating necessary software to a cloud solution. They are currently using their firewall to do everything routing, DHCP, IDS, VPN and overall network management. A lot of those features require licences yearly, while i have already managed to repurpose some of their switches for internal routing and network management and used one of the left over servers for a DHCP server. I wanted to see if snort would be a viable solution for IDS so that they could have active live alerts not just someone checking the firewall.
Thanks
