[Ilugc] Specific questions about snort

[Balasubramaniam Natarajan]

I gave a live demonstration of how Snort can detect the word "password"
going in a LAN and I have also shown live demo of how snort can alert us if
some on is trying to access passwd via URL.

I showed this while installing Snort on Ubuntu.  I will try to record Snort
installation when I find time, upload it and I will give the link.
