Suricata: An Operator's Guide

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.
