Snort
Snort is an open-source network intrusion detection and prevention system (NIDS/NIPS) software that was created in 1998 by Martin Roesch. It is a lightweight and free-to-use tool designed for Linux and Windows platforms. Snort is widely used by individuals and organizations in the field of cybersecurity to detect and prevent emerging threats. It monitors network traffic in real-time, comparing it against a rule set defined by users in a configuration file. Snort can be configured as a sniffer, packet logger, or network intrusion prevention method, providing security monitoring and protection against both internal and external threats.
