In the context of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), a signature is essentially an attack definition file. This file contains certain patterns or signatures that help the system identify and respond to known threats. Think of it as a set of rules or fingerprints that the IDS/IPS uses to detect malicious activity and protect the network from potential attacks.
