Snort is arguably the world's most widely used free intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) designed to perform packet logging and real-time traffic analyses of IP networks.

Snort is a signature-based IDS/IPS with packages available for all operating system platforms and boasts an impressive global community of users and supporters.

Snort requires an interface, GUI, or management console like Aanval to be effective.
