Xray

Xray is here to remind you that nobody is really safe from online threats. Many folks think they aren't interesting targets for attackers, but that's a big misconception. End-user systems are actually perfect for hackers to hide their tracks while launching attacks. If they get into your system, it can be hard to trace them back.

The Importance of Firewalls

A firewall is a common line of defense, but it doesn't always cut it against sophisticated attacks. Sometimes, it won't even alert you when an unknown attack targets a port that the firewall allows access through. This is where an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) comes in handy!

How IDS Works

An IDS analyzes every single packet your system receives over the LAN or WAN. If it detects any weird activity, it'll notify the administrator and keep logs for future investigations. That means no suspicious behavior goes unnoticed!

Threats Beyond Hackers

But wait, it's not just hackers we need to worry about! Automated software like viruses and worms are also on the prowl, scanning the internet for vulnerable hosts. Once they find a target, they launch an exploit and install backdoors on compromised systems so those systems can start hunting new victims.

The Risk of 0-Day Exploits

Another major issue in the tech world is 0-day exploits. These are bugs that nobody knows about yet, meaning there's no patch available to fix them. Fortunately, with Xray's detection mechanisms, you can catch some of these sneaky 0-day exploits because it looks beyond just specific patterns and checks for suspicious data that often appears in exploit codes.

Your Best Bet for Security

If you want real security for your systems, then you definitely need an IDS! Just relying on a firewall won't do much against these clever attacks.
