Has Anybody tried it? what was the result?

  • SNORT is a very nice tool, but it's not specifically intended to defend against DDoS from what I understand.

  • People often use it with pfsense and other solutions. It alone can't do all that much.

    There is no magic software that can defend against DDOS attacks. If they're sending you more traffic than what fits into your pipe, your pipe is full. Period.

    Of course it'll be better than having nothing, but don't expect it to do much for you unless you're combining it with other solutions

    The only true defense is bigger pipes. Most attacks these days are simply traffic based saturation vectors.
