Hi,

I am doing a final project as part of my MSc degree. I am intending to
evaluate three IDS systems (ISS, Snort, and NFR).

I have some simple experience with snort, but never used ISS or NFR
although I have the downloads for them. I think I can manage to deploy
them with the help of available documentations

Questions are:

        - Am I making a good selection for products? Bearing in
mind that I might not be able to get evaluation version of something
like Dragon.
        - What are the criteria and/or considerations that I have
to build my conclusions or results on?
        - Any guidance or suggestions?

If there is some one out there who did a similar project, I would be
most grateful if I can review his papers or at least give me an idea
about the steps he/she took.

Your help will be very much appreciated.

Azad
