Hi,

you have a lot of IDS (intrusion detection systems) in Linux.

Please try http://www.snort.org/

Preventios seem to me as firewall and about that you have to learn about iptables and all the implementations thar exist around that.

Try http://www.linuxsecurity.com/

Other tools of interest can be useful to find those holes. Example, nmap can be run and the output will tell you what is open.

Intrusion Detection works best by not only detecting the leaks but by knowing what leaks are available to take advantage of.

hi Marco,

i don't know if this helps you, but i think it's very interresting because this tool monitors what will change on the machine it's very usefull to determine what was changed by anyone how try to hack your server.
