Application for making a more user-friendly intrusion prevention system (Suricata)

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the internet has become an integral part of modern man, itself a source of knowledge for the construction of technologies that will bring automation and convenience to the lives of today’s man. The internet is a double-edged sword. It can be used to facilitate our daily lives, but it can also be used for malicious actions. Nowadays, rapid growth has resulted in the continuous development of technologies. So every day, they are finding weaknesses in these technologies and, at the same time, developing various ways to do malicious actions. The present paper references the problem we are facing in modern society. The issue of inadequate security shielding in all age groups. The study was mainly based on creating an interface application for IPS systems to generate statistics in live time about risks that our IPS system faces. This paper focuses on the Suricata IDS/IPS tools, docker, and ELK stack so that the creation of the application other and quality security is explained. The general problem is essential, affecting organizations, companies and ordinary people. We experimented to see the efficiency of this work with many pcap file datasets to evaluate the application’s performance and usability.
