Quick question: I was thinking about getting a Cisco IDS/IPS box for my home lab. I been looking on Ebay and have found a few.

Now, can I run the Cisco IDS/IPS software on any computer? I saw a Dell 1u blade being sold as a Cisco IDS/IPS....

    People have gotten the 4.x software to run on certain motherboards/NICS with some software tweaks (google FrankenIDS). I haven't heard of anyone getting the 5.x version to work outside of an official IDS/IPS Appliance.

    Just started this course and seeing as it's a Linux Kernel it would make sense it could be migrated to other platforms. Bears pondering...yes...deep pondering in a pondersome way.... :D
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?
