Hi!

	I´m a newbie in this matters but i´ve been reading some articles and papers
about NIDS. I´m interested in doing some research on the subject and i´d
like someone to guide me through. What´s the current development problems?
What is the current area of reseach?
	I´ve seen a paper on NFR's home site talking about data visualization and
it´s importance. Since that´s a subject i have always been interested is it
worth to do some research on that? Is there someone else doing research on
that subject also?

	Thanks in advance,
		Joao Abrantes

PS: From what i was able to gather so far i think NIDS should be included in
firewall software since it´s the natural complement for that kind of
software. I think most firewall vendors have some kind of NIDS add-on but
the only one I have seen with NIDS capacity right out of the box is
Microsoft ISA Server (although it´s NIDS capacity is rather small and I
think it is only based on simple string matching for attack's fingerprints).
Am i correct in this?
