RE: Any Intrusion Detection Appliances handle wired and wireless networks?

["Gary Freeman" <Gary.Freeman () rci rogers com>]

We have our existing probes running on OpenBSD but with our new
initiative to get appliances that offer 24/7 support, I was hoping for
something a little more "canned" that someone else has tweaked, hardened
and available at 3 AM when the box takes a nose dive.  Our existing Ops
folk cringe at the OpenBSD concept and refuse to support it.

OpenBSD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Throw in a wireless card.

It's free.  If you have some old hardware laying around (doesn't take
much).....  Makes for the perfect system!

Hi there,
Does anyone know of any combined solutions for and appliance that will
passively monitor the wired network while monitoring for wireless
activity as well?  The reason I'm asking is that I have one budget and
if I can combine both technologies in one box (snort and airsnort-based)
I could get approval.

I need the wireless monitoring in our data-centers along with the IDS so
that if any rogues connect to the network they will be picked up and
send an alert back to the SEC-admins.

Cheers,
