I've been tasked with implementing Shadow IDS 1.8 into a production environment at my job.
I find it unnerving that someone has given you a release of something, it's giving you errors, and you haven't checked/realized the release is over two years out of date?

The oldest reference I can find seems to say that version 2.3 came out October, 2002. I can't even find when 1.8 came out. Version 4.4 was released last month and you can find it here.

Now I know nothing about Shadow IDS. But it seems to me that an IDS that is nowhere near ready for current threats is a bad idea and a waste of your time at best.
