SNORT is your network’s packet sniffer that monitors network traffic in real-time, scrutinizing each packet closely to detect a dangerous payload or suspicious anomalies.NSS Group, a European network security testing organization, tested SNORT and intrusion detection system (IDS) products from 15 major vendors, including Cisco, Computer Associates, and Symantec. According to NSS, SNORT, the sole Open Source freeware product tested, outperformed the proprietary products.
