Hello.
My name is Matt Glass, and welcome to my course, Writing Snort Rules.
I'm an IT project manager at Leidos working overseas for the U.
S.
Government.
In this course,
we're going to expand our knowledge of Snort by writing and testing
our own custom rule sets based on security goals.
Some of the topics that we'll cover include basic Snort rule structure,
payload to non‑payload detection,
alert actions and active responses, and Snort file processing.
By the end of this course,
you should feel comfortable leveraging Snort's features and writing your own
custom rules. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with
Snort's operation and configuration at a basic level, or you can watch the
Getting Started with Snort course first. I hope you'll join me on this
journey to learn more about intrusion detection with the Writing Snort Rules
course, at Pluralsight.
