![]() ![]() Since the early days of Snort’s existence, it has been said that Snort is not “application-aware.” It simply looks at traffic matching its rules and takes an action (alert, drop and so on) when there is a match. These Suricata rules make more use of the additional features Suricata has to offer such as port-agnostic protocol detection and automatic file detection and file extraction. Suricata has its own ruleset, initially released to paying subscribers but freely available after 30 to 60 days: Emerging Threats. Many, but not all, VRT rules do still work. Suricata can use the same rules as SNORT. Some examples are Talos’ SO/VRT rules (released for free after one month) and CrowdStrikes Threat Intelligence Services. Some commercial parties develop SNORT rules as well, which can be purchased for a monthly or annual fee. The syntax of the rules is quite simple, and the program structure allows for anyone to deploy customized rules into their IDS or share them with the community. Snort has always had a lot of community support, and this has led to a substantial ruleset, updated on a regular basis. An IDS solution is only as good as the available rules it can apply to the monitored traffic. ![]()
