Suricata is a widely-used high performance, open source network analysis and threat detection software. This training will provide hands-on learning for different techniques using Suricata protocol analysis data for generating useful and actionable algorithmic and signature detection.
Suricata is an versatile open source engine that has been evolving beginning in 2009 to currently being able to provide network protocol, flow, alert, anomaly logs, file extraction and PCAP at very high speeds. It is being used currently across the world as Network Security Monitoring, Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and even firewall..
The training will employ actual hands-on review of malware network pcap traces. Starting from protocol analysis and generic signatures events, the attendee will discover the different queries and techniques that could be applied to detect the malware activity on the network. All of that keeping noise reduction in mind. The training aims to review a few cases of recent samples of malware families to give attendees practical experiences defending against modern threats. Attendees can expect to leave prepared to to use algorithmic detection formulas, methods and signatures that can be implemented at home or at work. In addition, they will gain experience finding relevant malware data.
