Sguil
Network management software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sguil (pronounced sgweel or squeal) is a collection of free software components for Network Security Monitoring (NSM) and event driven analysis of IDS alerts.[2] The sguil client is written in Tcl/Tk[3][2] and can be run on any operating system that supports these. Sguil integrates alert data from Snort, session data from SANCP, and full content data from a second instance of Snort running in packet logger mode.
