[-- Attachment #1 --] Cool idea. Lucky for you something like it has already been done but do a little research first. I would first give Marty Reoch a shout. He might know of a similar project underway to point you at or Sourcefire might be developing something in the wings. Sourcefire might be more than happy to include your efforts into a project like this. Why duplicate a currently ongoing open source project? If those don't pan out then do what Steve Jobs does and I quote. "Good inventors create. Great inventors steal." NFR has a IDS that boots off of CD-Rom. I have heard two stories that it is based on FreeBSD or OpenBSD. Get your hands on a demo and do some investigating into what NFR believes is the very minimal in needed files for a BSD flavor server. Happy hunting, --David >>> "Not Going to Tell You" <luckywolf19@hotmail.com> 08/27/01 05:25PM >>> We would like to have a script written that removes all files not needed for a FreeBSD server. Does anyone know a place that has a list of which files are associated with which program? We are trying to build an IDS using SNORT1.8-RELEASE, LINUX emulation, and sshd. All other programs that are not needed need to be removed, including all manpages.
