I'm a little confused by this question. I know Snort is a popular network security tool, but I'm not certain if it fits all the criteria they're looking for here. I might need to review my notes on network security tools to make sure I'm choosing the right one.

If you don't know Snort, you might as well just hand in a blank exam. It's the tool that keeps network admins up at night, in a good way.
