I dunno how many of the folks on this list remember Fred Cohen's "intrusion detection" system that he used to run on all.net. If you tried to Telnet to his system, it would look up the registered contact for your domain and E-mail them a nastygram that someone had just tried to break in to his system from your workstation. I'm starting to convince myself that I want to implement IDS as policy-based traps (a la Raiders of the Lost Ark -- if someone runs teardrop on me I want a big rock to fall on them) backed with passive sensors (microwave/PIR packet suckers) to catch anything that sneaks past. There are so many physical security analogies for how to do this right -- it's all beginning to come clear for me now. mjr. -- Marcus J.
