In this workshop, you will learn how to get started with Suricata to begin teaching it in the classroom or utilizing it for research purposes. Suricata is a free and open source, mature, fast and robust network threat detection engine capable of real time intrusion detection (IDS), inline intrusion prevention (IPS), network security monitoring (NSM) and offline PCAP processing. Suricata inspects network traffic using a powerful and extensive rules and signature language, and has powerful Lua scripting support for detection of complex threats. With standard input and output formats like YAML and JSON integrations with tools like existing SIEMs, Splunk, Logstash/Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other databases become effortless. You will be provided with a training virtual machine based on the SELKS distribution along with digital copies of all slides and labs/lab guides. By the end of this workshop you will be ready to include Suricata in your course content.
