A great tool for network security
DevidHNovember 11, 2014
Pros
Sax2 Network Intrusion detection system can provide users with insights into all network operations, making it easy to locate and resolve network issues. It also can identify bandwidth use and network bottleneck, assess the network for vulnerabilities and potential risks of a breach in security, and take proactive actions to prevent the breach before it takes place. The core functions of Sax2 Network Intrusion detection system are intrusion detection and prevention, audits, generation of traffic statistics, customization security policies, and provision of real-time alerts and responses. Network administrators can also monitor email messages, HTTP requests, FTP transfers, etc. through this pro
Cons
To use the toole, neet to basic networking knowledge, e.g. ip,port,protocol and so on.
Summary
It is an excellent tool

Pros
I think it is great that you can simply turn it off and exit it when you don't need it. Excellent tool for those wanting to see what is happening under the hood of their network.
Cons
I Honestly cannot think of any.....
Summary
Amazing compared to snort....

Pros
The best user interface of a IDS that I have seen, real time packet capturing and analysis, very low system inpact, miminal network overhead, quick to load, detailed explanation of each intrusion type, interface is REALLY intuitive.
Cons
I Honestly cannot think of any.....
Summary
All in all this is an amazing system, after screwing around with snort for about 3 hours, and not getting it working, even with the front end interface winIDS installed, still could not get it. Downloaded this installed it and it ran. Period. Not for the n00b who does not know how to interperet the results but the interface is amazing so you could probably learn. Malware free.
It is an excellent tool!

Pros
It is an excellent tool and promises to be useful for intrusion detection and prevention even in a hostile or particularly susceptible environment.
Cons
The main drawback is that this really isn?t a tool for novice or even average users, with an interface which though it is quite intuitive, really, has too much detailed that can become overwhelming for a non-advanced user.
Summary
Sax2 is a mainly an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). To this end Sax2 performs advanced real time packet capturing functions, advanced protocol analysis, 24x7 network monitoring, and Expert detection. It is a network based IDS: it collects, filters and analyzes all traffic that passes through a given network location. A single Sax2 monitor, appropriately placed (example: on a gateway) can provide IDS and intrusion prevention services for the entire network at a local site. Intrusion detection and prevention is done through the detection of a variety of attacks including Denial of Service, CGI/WWW, buffer overflow, windows and UNIX vulnerability, unauthorized access and hacking, ARP detection, IP spoofing and more. It also protects against worms, Trojans, etc. It allows you to configure the security policy with fine-grained controls. Real-time alerting and response to alerts is provided by Sax2. It allows for advanced traffic analysis, log generation, and in-depth packet decoding. These can be used to generate traffic usage reports and the statistical traffic analysis tools add to these capabilities. In this vein, it also provides for monitoring individual conversations and packet streams (or flows). A Name Table provides a list of aliases for addresses, port numbers and protocols on the LAN, and this can be used to set up different names and colors to make it easier for the administrator to narrow in on specific information in the future.
