It emulates the IP stack of Linux 2.0.x. Libnids offers IP +defragmentation, TCP stream assembly and TCP port scan detection. The most +valuable feature of libnids is reliability. A number of tests were conducted, +which proved that libnids predicts behaviour of protected Linux hosts as +closely as possible. Libnids is highly configurable in run-time and offers a +convenient interface. Currently it compiles on Linux, *BSD and Solaris. +Using libnids, one has got a convenient access to data carried by a TCP +stream, no matter how artfully obscured by an attacker. + +This requires libnet. |
