I've also been reading the list for a while, but only introduced my
self in the "application form". For the benefit of the wider audience:
I'm a system manager for the Computer Science Department of Concordia
University in Montreal. We've recently been through the very expensive
process of finding, tracing and arresting a pair of intruders. (The
process of *prosecuting* them is even worse!) Since then, the University
has decided that a security monitoring group would be in order, and I'm
on it.
I'm interested in anything that would (a) detect intrusion attempts as
they occur, (b) prevent them from succeeding, and/or (c) produce nice
logs of the incident. In particular, I'd like to hear about any
reasonable effective methods of detecting badguys using the compromised
accounts of legitimate users.
