Hi, I'm new to this forum. And I see alot of people talking about "HIPS". What is "HIPS"? Does it stand for something? And can you list some software related to "HIPS"? Sorry for this lame question. But I really want to know. Thanks in advance. regards omegakilo
Hi, HIPS stands for Host(-based) Intrusion Prevention System. Here are a couple of links to get you started. Enjoy http://wiki.castlecops.com/HIPS_FAQ http://wiki.castlecops.com/HIPS/IDP_programs/services
In general, HIPS detects unexpected activity on your system and asks you to allow or disallow that activity. HIPS will teach you much about your system, but I would not recommend it if your computer is used by unsupervised novices in your family, as you seemed to indicate in your other thread.
