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
Zeek, initially known as Bro, stands as the premier platform for monitoring network security. It is an adaptable, open-source solution driven by those dedicated to defense in the cybersecurity realm. With its origins tracing back to the 1990s, the project was initiated by Vern Paxson to gain insights into activities on university and national laboratory networks. In late 2018, to acknowledge its growth and ongoing advancements, the leadership team transitioned the name from Bro to Zeek. Unlike conventional security tools such as firewalls or intrusion prevention systems, Zeek operates passively by residing on a sensor, which can be a hardware, software, virtual, or cloud-based platform, that discreetly monitors network traffic. By analyzing the data it collects, Zeek generates concise, high-quality transaction logs, file contents, and customizable outputs that are well-suited for manual examination on storage devices or through more user-friendly applications like security information and event management (SIEM) systems. This unique approach allows for a deeper understanding of network activities without interfering with the traffic itself.
