I am new in the group. I would like to give a suggestion for exam 303: To include one question about IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) HLBR (Hogwash Light BR) in the exam.
Folks, I usually just sit and lurk, but this time I will make my views known:I support a generalized view of things like this. That is, I would rather see a background knowledge by an admin regarding packages like this rather than specific questions on a specific package.
I deleted the info about HLBR. I don't pass judgment on what is good/bad/indifferent or just additional on security software. But I don't think LPI should be used to advertise or otherwise promote any particular software package (which inclusion of HLBR with reference to HLBR and questions specific to it would amount to). An experienced admin can review this package (and any others in this category) and with an understanding of the underlying protocols and what this or any other package presents as information, decide if this fits a bill for them.
That said, any software like Apache that is basically a standard (I would consider 80% market share over _all_ operating systems just that), then reference to a specific package might be appropriate.
Again, HLBR might be great for some. But in this category, I would only suggest reference to tcpdump as a baseline standard with the admin showing knowledge of underlying protocols (ARP, IP, TCP/UDP, etc.), not specific software packages.
My $0.02, and worth exactly what you paid for them. Ciao, David A. Bandel
