Thanks for your reaction but i'm still not understanding the criteria on wich snort rules currently released on snort.org are written. The purpose for this question is to know how to obtain the description of well-known intrusions in order to get a clearer definition of what is an 'intrusion'. Please help me understand better. 2013/5/16 lists () packetmail net <lists () packetmail net>

That being said, the references are not comprehensive nor are they a road-map to full remediation. I'm unaware of any database that provides a mapping of snort signatures to incident severity to remediation/mitigation methods. As I understand it this task is the responsibility of the IDS analyst and is actually one of the core roles I believe an analyst should be capable of performing. Remediation options and mitigation approaches will also vary based on organizational risk assessment, LOB impact, etc. Should such an undertaking occur to develop such a data warehouse I see it is daunting with a high propensity to be incomplete and unable to address the niche needs of each organization.
