Intrusion Detection Systems Management Console

Dear newsgroup,

we are students of Computer Sciences at the University of Applied
Sciences Hannover (Germany). During a project over two terms we are
developing a managementconsole for Intrusion Detection Systems (project
name „SNAC“ - Security Network Analysis Console). As a part of the
development process we want to analyse the expectations of experienced
administrators and IT-Security-Managers towards such a managementconsole
for host and network based Intrusion Detection Systems.

Therefore we created a questionnaire including the functionalities of a
modern managementconsole. We would like to ask you to fill in this
questionnaire in order to gain an overview over the actually expected
features of an up-to-date managementconsole. An assessment according to
importance is of particular interest to us. If you have own expectations
that occur in practice and are not mentioned in the questionnaire,
please feel free to picture them using the free space at the end of the
document – we are grateful for all hints.

The collected information will be used solely to specify the
managementconsole as close to practical needs as possible. Of course you
may receive the analysis of the survey afterwards. If you have further
interest in our project, we will gladly answer your questions.

Thank you very much for your effort and interest.

Yours sincerely
- the project team „SNAC“

So, your teacher read the article in Linux Magazine a month or so ago
too? (I can't lay my hands on the issue right now, but it wasn't more
than 3 months back, might have been Linux Format) about building a
network control & monitoring system with ACiD and some other goodies?

I got all excited when I read the article too, but only because I'm a
gadget freak. Upon sober consideration, I decided that it would be
cool but not incredibly useful...

Mh, I don't think so. The project topic was presented in September 2003
and there was nothing like ACiD mentioned until now. We are going to
build a whole new system from the base, developing agents, logic and
user interface(s) on our own (probably using the common study topics
like Java, C(++) and all the fancy things we are learning about software
engineering ).

Well, 'cool' doesn't say enough. For my part, I am kind of a gadget
freak as well and I am going to keep the project alive on
sourceforge.net after the official part at University will have ended
(it is already registered there under the name "SNAC"). We will see, if
we can come up with something interesting. I really hope so!

Regards,
