Creating a Security CodeProject...Want to Join in??
-
Hi All, I have been creating a project (on my own time) that manages the Snort IDS Tool. Unfortunately my time is so limited, I haven't been able to devote much time. Because I wanted to present this on CodeProject (as a CodeProject Application), it is time to ask for help. If there is anyone that is interested in really helping to in creating a CodeProject App. from resources at CP, let me know. Now to tell you about the Project: I decided to write a program to view the logs generated by Snort. I needed something that could view alerts/generate reports for Windows Versions of Snort (Linux in the future). I also had to come up with a name and since I was reading lines in the snort log file, I thought the name was obvious "Snort-Lines". Now that the name was born, it was time for the picture, it was obvious how this was going to turn out! This Projects Goal is to create a "Pure" CodeProject app that Manages the Snort IDS Nodes in an Enterprize Network (or smaller if needed). My first shot at doing something was SnortLines. As I read the site name "Snort-Lines Management Console", it was obvious that this needed to be more than reading log files because there is much more to snort. There are some examples on the Snort-Lines Web Site. My ideas have grown into a "Snort Management Console (SnortMC)" that one will be able to manage the Snort IDS Nodes in their network from on Management Console. Although the code is only half done, there are a lot of thoughts in how to do this. Some of the things I have finished is the Services that watch the IDS node directories on the SnortMC. When a file is modified in these directories, the service sends it (via TCP...encrypted) to the Node. There is an idea for a GUI (also Half done, but functional) to manage this. There is more to talk about, but I think I need to know if someone is really interested in creating an app that the source code will be available to all as CodeProject. Regards, Dan

Hi I am quite new to network security - and my development work is mainly done in SQL Server, but if you need someone to write help files, do any other boring stuff, and help out more intelligently as I learn more - consider me in :cool: The following statement about your geekness is true.
