Summary

In this chapter, we discussed and reviewed the Snort 3 configuration aspects. Snort IDS/IPS version 3 is a complex software with several configuration settings and parameters that determine how the network traffic is analyzed to detect malicious attacks, what protocols are analyzed, how alerts are logged, and much more. Understanding and configuring is a critical part of running the Snort IDS/IPS. The effectiveness and performance of the Snort system depend on this aspect.

In the next chapter, we will discuss Snort’s DAQ module and the various mechanisms involved in that functionality.
