Re: A basic Question from a new bie!!

["Mitchell Rowton" <mrowton () bdo com>]

Your best bet is to google for specific intrusions and see how others
react.  In general, after you have been in your job a while you will
become accustomed to seeing the same intrusions directed to the same
servers/IP ranges.  After time you will have a better idea of which are
false positives and which you aren't vulnerable to anyway. 

You just have to get acclimated to your network patterns.  If you can
google your way through the first month you'll be fine.
