IDS data sets

Hello - 

I am a newbie to the forum. I am looking for some pointers as far as
techniques/tools used in analyzing IDS data published by MIT & DARPA
(http://www.ll.mit.edu/IST/ideval/). My attempts thus far have resulted in
crashing of my windows system. The data available is five years old and I
have some doubts about the validity of any results obtained from the data and
its applicability today. In that regard are there any alternatives available.


Any comments/suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.
