Snort is the premier Open Source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that offers powerful network security solutions. As an open-source and lightweight software, Snort is designed to detect emerging threats and ensure the safety of your network. It is compatible with both Linux and Windows operating systems, making it accessible for a wide range of users.

Snort's primary function is to assess network activity and identify malicious behavior by using a set of predefined rules. It can act as a packet sniffer, packet logger, or a comprehensive network intrusion prevention system. Snort can even analyze real-time traffic and log packets.

To enhance its capabilities, Snort provides two sets of rules for download: the Community Ruleset and the Snort Subscriber Ruleset. The latter, developed and approved by Cisco Talos, offers real-time access to updated rules. With over 5 million downloads and 600,000 registered users, Snort has proven to be the most widely deployed intrusion prevention system worldwide.
