Discussion
1. It is often stated that IDS is dead or dying, and no longer is relevant vs. the more sophisticated IPS setups, or the fact that given TOR based command and control and encrypted attacks can bypass IDS systems. Do you feel that IDS still can be used in modern network security, and if so, where/how would you effectively use it?
2. Assuming that an organization did not have any firewalls or other security equipment, but just an IPS, what are some methods of attack to bypass this system and obtain information/infect machines behind it? Which of these methods do you feel would be the most effective?
