👉 The FreeBSD Weapon is a powerful and flexible, open-source network intrusion detection and prevention system designed to protect FreeBSD-based systems from various cyber threats. It operates by monitoring network traffic in real-time and analyzing it against a comprehensive set of predefined rules and signatures to detect malicious activities, such as unauthorized access attempts, malware propagation, and other security breaches. Weapon can be configured to operate in both passive and active modes: passive mode analyzes traffic without interfering, while active mode can block or drop suspicious packets. It supports a wide range of protocols and offers advanced features like deep packet inspection, custom rule creation, and integration with other security tools, making it a robust solution for securing FreeBSD networks.
