About the Book
Snort 3 is a powerful IDS and IPS platform. Are you interested in learning how to install it? This 40-page guide will show you how to install it on your favorite Debian-based Linux distribution:
Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04, and the newly released 24.04)
Debian 12
Kali Linux 2024.1
Remnux (Based on Ubuntu 20.04)
Sift (Based on Ubuntu 22.04)
Readers will learn how to compile and install Snort 3, Snort 3 extras, and OpenAppID for a complete intrusion detection suite. This installation guide will also introduce users to the pulledpork3 rule manager for downloading the latest Cisco TALOS rules, and automate both system and rule updates on a regular basis for keeping the IDS sensor up to date.
As a final bonus, readers will learn how to convert snort 2.9 rules using the snort2lua utility. As with the rest of my works, this is a 'pay what you want' release, that readers can download for free if they so desire. Good luck, and happy hunting!
