Anti-Malware Tools: Intrusion Detection Systems
Overview This paper will investigate the use of IDS systems, specifically to counter/block/detect malware. What's more, this paper will focus on SNORT (which is a free IDS system available for both UNIX and Windows). This paper will include instructions and guidance on the setup of such a system, numerous examples of suitable rules to detect and block malware and useful tools that can make the sifting of logs easier and more palatable as well as configuration and other tools and utilities that may be useful in managing and maintaining SNORT. The use of an IDS system can be extremely useful in cases of fast burning or very complex malware outbreaks as a stop-gap until the anti-virus vendors manage to get reliable updates out to their customers.
