Posted June 1, 2014 The Windows Intrusion Detection Systems (WinIDS) tutorials are accessed by using the 'Tutorials' link in the main menu bar. The Windows Intrusion Detection System (WinIDS) is officially supported on the following operating systems in 64bit architecture only! Windows x64 7 Professional Windows x64 10 Professional Windows x64 11 Professional Windows x64 Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition Windows x64 Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition Windows x64 Server 2016 Standard Edition Windows x64 Server 2019 Standard Edition Windows x64 Server 2022 Standard Edition Note: The Windows Intrusion Detection System (WinIDS) may not have any issues being installed on any variant of the Windows operating system listed above, including Datacenter. However, Winsnort.com has only verified that the Windows Intrusion Detection System does work on any of the Windows's versions listed above, and those are the only ones supported in the forums. Winsnort.com has six specific tutorials for installing a Windows Intrusion Detection System (WinIDS) using a Microsoft Windows operating system. There are four full blown tutorials for installing a Master (stand-alone) Windows Intrusion Detection Systems (WinIDS), and there are two tutorials dealing with installing slave sensors. If you are going to be installing a full-blown Windows Intrusion Detection System (WinIDS) then there are only a couple of major decisions to make. Decision 1: Which of the two supported Web Servers to use: The Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) The Apache2 Web Server Decision 2: Which of the two supported Database Server to use: The MySQL Database Server The PostgreSQL Database Server If you are going to be installing a slave sensor, then there is only one major decision to make. Decision 1: Which of the two supported Remote Database Servers the slave will be sending events too. The MySQL Database Server The PostgreSQL Database Server Note: There are a multitude of additional support programs that will be installed across all installations. Picking the correct tutorial always starts with one of the supported Operating Systems being installed, and it's always best to start with a fresh install. Now it comes down to which Web Server, and which Database server to use. The tutorials are written so installation can be any possible configuration of operating system, Web Server, or Database Server. It's completely the installers preference. Support Forums: Each tutorial has its own specific support forum. It is important to request support in the correct forum that matches the tutorial. For the installers convenience there is a 'Get Support' button at the top of each tutorial that will open the correct support forum for that particular tutorial. It is important to use the correct support forum until the tutorial has been completed and events are being shuttled to the Windows Intrusion Detection Systems (WinIDS) security console. Once the Windows Intrusion Detection System has been verified to be working than questions should be asked in the Client forum. If there are any questions, reply to this topic for an answer. This topic will be followed by the moderator, and or administrator. Questions should be answered in a reasonable amount of time. However, it could take up to 24 hours for a response. Winsnort.com has a great community, and they may jump in and help for a quicker response. Good luck, and happy WinSnorting... examiner2 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
