- Description
- Intrusion Detection is essential in modern networking. However, with the increas-ing load on modern networks, the resource requirements of NIDS are significant. This paper explores and compares the requirements of Snort and Bro, and finds that Snort is more efficient at processing network traffic than Bro. It also finds that both systems are capable of analysing current network loads on commodity hardware, but may be unable to do so for higher bandwidth networks. This is ben-eficial in a South African context due to the increasing international bandwidth that will come online with the launch of the SEACOM Cable, and local projects such as SANREN.
