Re: pack() gives me "character wrapped" warnings in more than two year old software?

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you a release of something, it's giving you errors, and you haven't checked/realized the release is over two years out of date?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.

Thanks for all the help. To address Shenme's point, after checking that page out, it looks like that's not "pure" Shadow IDS. Instead, it's a combination of Shadow IDS v1.8 and several Snort packages in one convenient IDS and released as Shadow IDS. We're already running Snort in our environment, and I'm just adding Shadow v1.8 to our quiver of tools at our disposal. Thanks again for the help.	[reply]
