# net/snort - The NetBSD Packages Collection

The Open Source Network Intrusion Detection System

      Snort is a libpcap-based packet sniffer/logger which can be used
    as a lightweight network intrusion detection system.  It features
    rules based logging and can perform protocol analysis, content
    searching/matching and can be used to detect a variety of attacks
    and probes, such as buffer overflows, stealth port scans, CGI
    attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more.

      Snort has a real-time alerting capability, with alerts being sent
    to syslog or a separate "alert" file.   As of version 1.1 it can
    also send WinPopup messages via Samba.
