I have just setup my Web server on solaris platform and is planning to deploy a freeware IDS. Now I am evaluating the below IDS tools :- AIDE
Snort
Tripwire

Chkrootkit

and would like to have the comments from everyone on which is the best IDS tools ? Or what is the best combination so that I can mix them together to form a more complete IDS enabled environment. Or is there any other better free IDS tools available ?

Below is the criteria of my evaluation.

  1. CPU Loading/Utilization - Is the IDS resouce hungry ?
  2. Disk Consumption - Is that too much log generated ?
  3. Usability - Is the IDS ease of configuration and reconfiguration ? Or have to take days in order to configure it properly ?
  4. Completeness - Can the IDS detect most of the intrusion ?
  5. Extendability - Can the IDS detect new intrusion ?

Any comments are much appreciated.
