Problem
Since our first session serves as our introduction to intrusion detection, use this conference to post for the class any direct experience you may have with intrusion detection systems, or alternately, any knowledge you may have about how they are used in an environment you have seen.
Also, for the benefit of your instructor and your classmates, indicate whether you expect to work with the IDS tools in the class in the Virtual Lab, on Windows, Mac, your own Linux, or on some other platform, and note any constraints or issues you might have related to installing and using these tools on your computer.
