Snort is a fairly intelligent sniffer/NIDS, with a very strong rule set
ability.
Snort can perform protocol analysis, content searching/matching and can be
used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows,
stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts,
and much more.
Snort uses a flexible rules language to describe traffic that it should
collect or pass, as well as a detection engine that utilizes a modular
plugin architecture. Snort has a real-time alerting capability as well,
incorporating alerting mechanisms for syslog, a user specified file, a
UNIX socket, or WinPopup messages to Windows clients using Samba's
smbclient.
