Suricata 2.0.6 released, Available for Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RHEL, Slackware, Devbian, Linux Mint, Mac OSX, FreeBSD and Windows

Suricata 2.0.6 released, Available for Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RHEL, Slackware, Devbian, Linux Mint, Mac OSX, FreeBSD and Windows

Suricata is a high performance Network IDS, IPS and Network Security Monitoring engine. Open Source and owned by a community run non-profit foundation, the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF). Suricata is developed by the OISF and its supporting vendors.

Suricata is without no doubt the best IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) software ever built, powered only by open source technologies.

What's New in This Release:

• Bug #1364: evasion issues
• Bug #1337: output-json: duplicate logging
• Bug #1325: tls detection leads to tcp stream reassembly sequence gaps (IPS)
• Bug #1192: Suricata does not compile on OS X/Clang due to redefinition of string functions
• Bug #1183: pcap: cppcheck warning

1. Highly Scalable

Suricata is multi threaded. This means you can run one instance and it will balance the load of processing across every processor on a sensor Suricata is configured to use. This allows commodity hardware to achieve 10 gigabit speeds on real life traffic without sacrificing ruleset coverage.

2. Protocol Identification

The most common protocols are automatically recognized by Suricata as the stream starts, thus allowing rule writers to write a rule to the protocol, not to the port expected. This makes Suricata a Malware Command and Control Channel hunter like no other. Off port HTTP CnC channels, which normally slide right by most IDS systems, are child’s play for Suricata! Furthermore, thanks to dedicated keywords you can match on protocol fields which range from http URI to a SSL certificate identifier.

3. File Identification, MD5 Checksums, and File Extraction

Suricata can identify thousands of file types while crossing your network! Not only can you identify it, but should you decide you want to look at it further you can tag it for extraction and the file will be written to disk with a meta data file describing the capture situation and flow. The file’s MD5 checksum is calculated on the fly, so if you have a list of md5 hashes you want to keep in your network, or want to keep out, Suricata can find it.

Suricata has many more great features, and we hope you give it a run. It’s free, it’s fast, and it’s going to be here long term!

How to diff remote files over ssh

Diff command line utility compares contents of two files (or directories), and shows how they differ line by line. It's straightforward to use diff if both input files are located on local host.

How to enable X11 forwarding using ssh

X11 forwarding is a mechanism that allows graphical interfaces of X11 programs running on a remote Linux server to be displayed on a local client machine. Behind the scene, the X11 output of a remotely running program is authorized to be sent to localhost via an X11 connection between client and a remote server. SSH has an option to securely tunnel such X11 connections, so that X11 forwarding sessions are encrypted and encapsulated. If you would like to set up X11 forwarding over SSH, check out this guideline.Read more »

What are popular packet sniffers on Linux?

A packet sniffer captures live packets from networks, decodes them according to protocol specifications, and optionally takes actions according to the parsed packet contents (e.g., in case of security detection systems). It is a very useful tool to diagnose networks or protect against security attacks over networks. The following are several popular open-source packet sniffers available on Linux.Read more »

What are available iptables management tools with GUI?

Netfilter is a packet filtering system within the Linux kernel used for intercepting and processing network packets. Iptables is a user-space program that relies on netfilter to implement stateless/stateful packet filtering for network firewalls, and address/port translation for NATs. There are many applications and tools that ease complex iptables management tasks with convenient graphical front-ends. Here are some of those iptables management tools with GUI.Read more »

How to force login password prompt in single user mode

Linux provides so-called "single user mode" or "rescue mode" in which a multi-user Linux system boots into a single user with superuser privilege. The single user mode is useful when you need exclusive access to shared system resources, e.g., when conducting maintenance or security audit of root file system, and updating critical system settings such as resetting root passwords.Read more »
