"Knoppix-NSM removes complexity of Snort-based network security monitoring" - Russ McRee

"Network security monitoring tools are an essential part of any IT professional's arsenal. With these tools, a vigilant person can detect anomalies on a network, capture rouge employees downloading explicit content, and even record attacks for full offline analysis.
