Effortless Network Security with Snort3 3.3.1.0 in Docker

This repository provides a Dockerized deployment of Snort3, a powerful network intrusion prevention system. It simplifies the use of Snort3 for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV).

Docker Image Usage

Note: Depending on your setup, you may need to use sudo for Docker commands.

To launch the Snort3 Docker container with full network access, use the following command:

docker run -it --rm --net=host ghcr.io/bengo237/snort3:latest /bin/bash

In some cases, you might need to add --cap-add=NET_ADMIN or --privileged to the Docker command. However, be cautious when using --privileged as it grants all capabilities to the container, which requires careful consideration.

Verifying Snort Configuration

To validate the Snort configuration, run the following command:

snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua
