In the earlier post I mentioned a virtual machine that would make it easy to setup an instrusion detection system.
This one is even better. You will probably want to register for an "oink code" at "http://snort.org" but you don't have to. The default settings will show you plenty enough.
The file comes as a VM. If you set it up as a single bridged network adapter, you can run it in the free vmware player and have complete intrusion detection for your local host.
