What is Snort?

Snort is recognized as the foremost Open Source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) worldwide. This robust IPS employs a variety of rules to detect malicious network activities, comparing incoming packets against these predefined guidelines to alert users of potential threats. Moreover, Snort can be set up to function inline, which allows it to actively block harmful packets from entering a network. Its capabilities are extensive, as it can serve three primary functions: it can operate as a packet sniffer akin to tcpdump, act as a packet logger that aids in analyzing network traffic, or function as a full-fledged network intrusion prevention system. Users can easily download Snort, making it suitable for both individual and business use, though it necessitates configuration upon installation. After completing this setup, users will have access to two different rule sets: the "Community Ruleset" and the "Snort Subscriber Ruleset." The latter, developed and continuously improved by Cisco Talos, provides subscribers with timely updates to the ruleset as new threats emerge, allowing organizations to remain vigilant against evolving security challenges. Through these features, Snort empowers users to maintain a robust defense against cyber threats, making it an essential tool for network security.
