About the Book
Greetings!
This work is focused on teaching readers about network intrusion detection system best practices, featuring the Suricata network intrusion detection platform.
This book is still a work in progress and currently consists of three chapters. As time progresses, I will be publishing new iterations of this work with more chapters. Here are the chapters I have planned currently:
· NIDS and IDS Evasion history, its influence on design for both Snort and Suricata (Done)
· Setting up a rule writing/performance testing environment with Dalton (Done)
· Understanding the importance of sensor placement (Done)
· Anatomy of a Suricata 5+ rule
· What makes a rule good
· Understanding rule performance metrics
· Methods to reduce false positives and alert fatigue
· Where to acquire malware samples and research material for developing Suricata rules
· Scenarios/exercises involving malware, pcaps and rule writing
As work progresses and I gain feedback from readers I may include additional chapters. Thank you very much for your feedback and patronage.
