- Sguil
Sguil (pronounced "sgweel" or "squeal") is a collection of Free
software components forNetwork Security Monitoring (NSM) and event driven analysis of IDS alerts. The sguil client is written in Tcl/Tk and can be run on any operating system that supportsTcl /Tk. Sguil integrates alert data fromSnort , session data from SANCP, and full content data from a second instance of Snort running in packet logger mode.Sguil is an implementation of a Network Security Monitoring (NSM) system.
Richard Bejtlich andBamm "qru" Visscher define an NSM as "collection, analysis, and escalation of indications and warnings to detect and respond to intrusions."What makes this particularly interesting is that this is basically a suite of tools which one can use as the foundation of an organization's
Security Operations Center (SOC).Downloads
