[thelist] IDS (Intrusion Detection System)

[Garrick S. Bodine (Shan)]

For IDS: 
Snort from snort.org (free, open source, quite popular, and powerful),
or its commercial counterparts on sourcefire.com, if you're talking
heavy-duty commercial needs.

For firewall:
iptables is the included "software firewall" with Linux. For a GUI
interface to it, try installing firestarter. It will make setting rules
more transparent.

HTH.
