Hi all, I am new to Suricata as I have been wanting to learn and IDS, and it appears suricata appears to be a great tool. As Windows is my primary OS I wanted to learn Suricata on a stand alone machine for now. I wanted to find out after installing it in Windows is there a good GUI to use to view logs and management and the such, or is it mainly a cmd based system? Also are there some good docs on useful switches to learn the software? Besides using the .exe /?. Thanks all for any input
For documentation we recommend reading our guide: Suricata User Guide — Suricata 6.0.11 documentation
Thanks Andreas, it seems like a powerful tool, just want to get to know it better.
Hi Andreas,
So Suricata is designed to be run on Linux? If so I’ll need to build a Linux box. Is there a guide like the one you referenced that relates to Windows?
It can run on BSD systems and Windows as well, you can find the download options at Download - Suricata
But yes the best support is on Linux and BSD like systems.
