Comments on How To Set Up An IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) On Fedora 17

How To Set Up An IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) On Fedora 17 Vuurmuur is a linux firewall manager. It takes a human readable rule syntax and turns it into the proper iptables commands. It supports logviewing, traffic shaping, connection killing and a lot of other features. Suricata is a relatively new network IDS/IPS. It's multithreaded for performance, supports IDS and IPS modes, can extract files from HTTP streams and has a lot of other features. Fedora 17 includes both Vuurmuur and Suricata in its repository. In this howto I'll describe how to get a functional IPS using only Fedora packages.

Hello. Thanks for the post. In my case, I'm not using Fedora, but Ubuntu. And I do not work with the vuurmuur. How will the IPS configuration be? I can activate the IDS, but the IPS can not visualize the packages, even giving the commands. Would you help me?
