IDS/9000

[Wong_3]

Hi all,

I have just read up about the Intrusion Detection System for HP 9000 series. However, according to the documents that I read, it seemed like its meant for 11i only? I am currently running on ver 11. What are the implications of installing this software??

Hi,

IDS was originally set up for 11, but I think that it was full of holes. Vers 2 came out specifically for 11i. Have a look at the link in regards to 11. You will have problems trying to get the version for 11i working on 11.

I have it running under 11.0 It works great. It's a very young product, however it has all the features of the best tools out for security. I've prevented 3 hacks with it so far.


Hope that helps.

The current release for IDS/9000 is 2.0, which still has a few bugs.

There is currently a beta program for release 2.1 which will be release in short i guess.

This will run under 11.0 and 11i so I suggest you wait for release 2.1.

I am looking to implement IDS on some of my systems. Does anyone know if the system is required to be 'trusted' in order to run?
Thanks,

Hi,

I have this running on HP-UX 11.0. It doesn't have to be on a trusted system. I'm looking forward to version 2.1.
