HenWen is a network security package for Mac OS X that makes it easy to configure and run Snort, a free Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). <\/p>\n
HenWen’s goal is to simplify setting up and maintaining software that will scan
\nnetwork traffic for undesirable traffic a firewall may not block. Everything you need
\nto have is bundled in; there is no compiling or command line use necessary.
\nA NIDS has a number of practical uses on a network. For people that use Mac OS
\nX Server or otherwise provide network services with their Macs, a NIDS will
\ninform the administrator that someone from a specific place on the network is trying
\nto scan the server for possible vulnerabilities, or try to compromise security. A
\nNIDS can also scan the network for bad TCP or ICMP traffic, or traffic that
\nsuggests someone on the network (or the local computer) is trying to do something
\nthat the network administrator does not want them doing (ie. trading pirated
\nsoftware, using iChat on company time, or using software they?re not supposed to
\nbe using). While a NIDS is mainly used by network administrators, a NIDS is also a
\nuseful thing for home users to have as well, especially for home users who are
\nalways connected to the Internet and\/or have a home network installed.
\nA NIDS is not really a replacement for a firewall. By default, Snort will only warn
\nabout suspicious activity; it will not actually pull the plug. Snort?s rules can be
\nmodified to disconnect suspicious activity, but this could interfere with normal
\nnetwork traffic (especially in the case of a false alarm), and it could cause Snort to
\ngo into an infinite loop.<\/p>\n
