I have links for good ones I've read (most linux):

"Interpreting Network Traffic:
A Network Intrusion Detector's Look
      at Suspicious Events
      by Richard Bejtlich
     bejtlich () altavista net"

http://www.linuxsecurity.com.br/info/IDS/interpret.ids.txt

"FAQ: Network Intrusion Detection Systems"

http://www.linuxsecurity.com.br/info/IDS/network-intrusion-detection.htm

"Focus On Linux: Intrusion Detection on Linux" (SecurityFocus)

http://www.linuxsecurity.com.br/info/IDS/linux-focus.ids.html

I think I don't have to mention the great Lance Spitzner Publications,
but:

http://www.enteract.com/~lspitz/pubs.html (read em' all)

Have a good readin',
Best regards,
