Program
Module 1Snort Installation: Basic Configuration and First Tests (Linux, Default Rules, Wireshark Capture)
Complete installation of Snort on a professional Linux distribution, configuration of network interfaces for real-time traffic capture, hands-on with basic rules provided by the Snort community, first tests on simulated intrusion scenarios using tools like Wireshark, generation of alerts and initial log analysis, practical exercises to validate the environment and produce a basic detection report, while integrating enterprise best practices for rapid and reliable implementation.
Module 2Snort Rules: Advanced Creation and Customization (Syntax, Preprocessors, Signature Detection)
Deep dive into Snort rules syntax to detect TCP/UDP/ICMP protocols, creation of custom rules tailored to specific threats like port scans or SQLi attacks, use of preprocessors to decode HTTP and DNS flows, lab tests with malicious traffic generation via Metasploit, fine-tuning of alert thresholds to minimize false positives, exercises on real enterprise cases with trainer validation, production of a set of deployable rules to immediately strengthen your detection skills.
Module 3Snort Analysis: Log Interpretation and Tuning (Barnyard2, Alerts, Performance)
In-depth analysis of Snort logs with tools like Barnyard2 for structured output to databases, decryption of alerts to identify attack vectors, performance tuning via optimized compilation and buffer adjustments, zero-day attack simulations to test resilience, event correlation with ELK Stack in practical mode, exercises on real enterprise incident datasets, creation of a custom monitoring dashboard, demonstrating immediate value for faster and more professional incident response.
Module 4Snort Deployment: SIEM Integration and High Availability (PulledPork, Docker, Production)
Advanced deployment of Snort in inline and fail-open mode to block threats, integration with SIEM like Splunk or ELK via PulledPork for automated rules updates, containerization with Docker for cluster scalability, high availability configuration across multiple nodes, load tests and massive attack simulations, final exercises on an enterprise ongoing project with defense, production of a complete deployment plan including monitoring and maintenance, ensuring certified and operational network monitoring right from the end of the training.
