Abstract: Security of assets is foremost and vigorous, should it be hardware, software, or a digital piece of information, an organisation should protect its assets. When the security of computer systems is discussed, several different branches are identified that need and deserve the advanced level of security. Network security is among the prominent sector and is considered today's topmost branch of computers which is at utmost risk and danger. It acts as a bridge between the different micro, mini, and advanced sized computer systems connectivity from different parts of the world. One of the most common and unsophisticated ways to secure digital information is intrusion detection systems (IDSs). The IDS plays a significant and pivotal role in securing networks. This work comprises a comparison on well-known, three open-source IDS named Snort, Suricata, Bro/Zeek. Extensive comparison will be performed based on 12 different yet interconnected standards. It will help an individual to better understand which technology is best suited for its network. A matrix has been designed through which five different experiments were executed based on which the juxtaposition will be prepared. This paper summarises an extensive study of several researchers with a practical experiment approach in a well-controlled environment.
