This module embeds the libnids C library written by Rafal Wojtczuk <nergal@avet.com.pl?. libnids is designed to do all lowlevel network code required by a network intrusion detection system (whichis what NIDS stands for). This module uses libnids to allow you to read the reassembled tcp stream without any duplicates or incorrect order. That is, like a normal host would have seen the stream.
