Hi, I find myself working on a project tasked with determining the state of the art in Intrusion Detection (ID). Step one is to determine what exists. Step two is to determine the current directions ID. Step three is to determine what needs to be addressed that is not being addressed. I have followed this list since its' inception and have always found it a good source of information. Also, the information I wish to gather is the same information that many others on the list are asking for. Any information you can share will be gladdly appreciated. It can be posted to the list or e:mailed to me directly. As I procede with my search, I will be posting (some not all of) what I find to this list. If you would like to join in the activity by posting to the list, please do. I think we can all benefit from the exercise. Thanks in advance. Jim Truitt PS To the IDS Moderator and list members. Because this activity relates to my work activities, if you feel it is out of place for me to use this forum in this manner, let me know offline and I will desist.
