EasyIDS is a user-friendly intrusion detection software equipped with Snort configuration, designed for simple installation and setup.
With EasyIDS, even beginners with minimal Linux experience can feel confident using this software. You will enjoy the benefits of an upgraded Snort to 2.8.0.2 which will protect your network from any unusual or malicious activity.
In addition to Snort, EasyIDS also offers a customized version of BASE 1.4.0 that has been fine-tuned for the user's convenience. EasyIDS also now comes with PMGraph for Snort performance graphs added, which will enhance your network monitoring capabilities.
The new release has made great strides in the area of the software's configuration files as they have been conveniently situated in /etc/easyids. With these files being easily accessible, it will be easier for you to keep track of all of your configurations.
Furthermore, you will be delighted to know that EasyIDS has improved the software's backup capabilities with the addition of manual/scheduled local and remote FTP backup functionality, as well as email alerts and notifications once there are any alterations in the system.
The release also includes some new features, such as mouseover-style help messages added to web configuration pages, an unprotected public web folder for future enhancements, and modifications to the Snort rule updates page to replace invalid links.
EasyIDS' team has also added a bash script for performing backups and restore added, and there's a protection against ntop upgrade thanks to the disabled Dag Repository.
Overall, our experience with EasyIDS was phenomenal. We would definitely recommend this software to anyone who is looking for a simple yet effective intrusion detection system.
