You list asks that I introduce myself on my first posting - so
here I am as a brand new list member, and I find that your list of
intrusion detection systems doesn't even include CMDS (Computer Misuse
Detection System) on it. (Flame on) And I figured you people would know
all about the systems in widespread use today! Oh well, disappointed
again. (flame off)
Let's see, you have my name - I am a researcher, author of
almost 50 professional publications mostly in info-sec, author of
several widely read books on info-sec (The latest is titled:
Protection and Security on the Information Superhighway
just off the shelf this month published by John Wiley and Sons), a sysop
since 1971 (I feel old when I say that), and an infosec consultant to
government, industry, and anyone else who will pay the fare, and teacher
of short (and not so short) courses on info-sec (one is scheduled for
New York on March 29-30 - call 810-540-5610 for details - or see the WWW
page for details then call that number to sign up).
I also have a nice W3 page (http://all.net:8080) with full-text
searchable on-line archives of many of the most popular on-line info-sec
forums (someday soon perhaps even to include this one - if I can find
the archive site) and automated vulnerability testing for over-the-wire
attacks (which should also help people test their detection systems
without having to set up a special test lab every time).
I guess that fulfills the list introduction obligation as specified
in the list introduction introduction.
