Fyi. Doug ----- Forwarded message from Doug Nelson <[log in to unmask]> ----- Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 13:38:47 -0400 From: Doug Nelson <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Testing of Intrusion Detection/Prevention system To: [log in to unmask] To all interested parties: We will be testing an Intrusion Detection and Prevention system (IDP) on Thursday, May 26, 2005, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. The IDP system will be monitoring traffic at the campus border, between MSU and MichNet (and the rest of the Internet). The IDP will be specifically monitoring and blocking traffic in categories which have the highest likelihood of being unwanted traffic. Examples would include checks for Nimda and Code Red, and a number of published buffer overflow exploits. -- Doug Nelson, Network Manager | [log in to unmask] Academic Computing and Network Services | Ph: (517) 353-2980 Michigan State University | http://www.msu.edu/~nelson/
