Review
"I have been a diehard Snort user and member of the community since day one. Snort is awesome and there are so many incredibly talented people involved with it. I always wished that there was a book that documented everything, and gave lots of very cool information on all of the inner workings. I was psyched when I heard this book was being written, and I orderd it before it came out. I got mine on Friday and spent the weekend reading it. Considering the guys (and gal!) who wrote it, I shouldn't be surprised that the book rocks. Everything you ever wanted to know about Snort is in there. And, you know you are getting it from the Pig's mouth--er, or Snout ;)" - reviewer on Amazon.com

Good for even the experienced Snort user,
By Ted Thornton (Dallas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Snort Intrusion Detection 2.0 (Paperback)
I've been running Snort for since the earliest versions and spend a lot of time on the mail lists, working through problems with other users, etc. I got this book about 6 months ago, read it all the way through, and since then have been referring to it whenever I've had questions or problems with Snort. I was initially going to post a review after my initial reading, but wanted to see if I experienced any buyer's remorse after putting the book through it's paces a little bit more. Well, its' half a year later and I'm more impressed with it now than after my initial read. Every time I've had a question, I've found an answer in this book. I'm not quite sure what web site the reader from Maryland is visiting (it's certainly not the Snort site) where he found information anything like the Preproccesors chatper in this book. That chatper was obviously the result of some serious, independent research.

Not Worth The Money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Snort Intrusion Detection 2.0 (Paperback)
First of all, this book has way too many grammar mistakes. Secondly, go to the snort web site and download their PDF documents because they are free. I compared the snort documentation against this book and it is almost exactly the same. So they knew how to take snort's PDF and make it into a book. I will give them credit for that. I expected a lot more than what I had already read on snort's website.There were a few errors on setting up ACID, but having read snort's documentation already, it was easily figured out. Too bad I can't get my money back because if I knew it was this bad, I would have never bought it.
