Description

Snort stands as the leading Open Source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) globally. This IPS utilizes a collection of rules designed to identify harmful network behavior, matching incoming packets against these criteria to issue alerts to users. Additionally, Snort can be configured to operate inline, effectively blocking these malicious packets. Its functionality is versatile, serving three main purposes: it can act as a packet sniffer similar to tcpdump, function as a packet logger that assists in troubleshooting network traffic, or serve as a comprehensive network intrusion prevention system. Available for download and suitable for both personal and commercial use, Snort requires configuration upon installation. After this setup, users gain access to two distinct sets of Snort rules: the "Community Ruleset" and the "Snort Subscriber Ruleset." The latter, created, tested, and validated by Cisco Talos, offers subscribers real-time updates of the ruleset as they become available to Cisco clients. In this way, users can stay ahead of emerging threats and ensure their network remains secure.

Description

The Suricata engine excels in real-time intrusion detection (IDS), inline intrusion prevention (IPS), network security monitoring (NSM), and offline packet capture (pcap) processing. It analyzes network traffic using a robust and comprehensive set of rules and signature languages, complemented by advanced Lua scripting capabilities that allow for the identification of intricate threats. Its compatibility with standard input and output formats such as YAML and JSON simplifies the integration with various tools, including established SIEMs, Splunk, Logstash/Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other databases. The development of Suricata is driven by a vibrant community focused on enhancing security, usability, and efficiency. Additionally, the project is managed and endorsed by the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF), a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the ongoing development and success of Suricata as an open-source initiative. This commitment not only ensures the software's reliability but also actively encourages community contributions and collaboration.
