Hi MyDFIR. This tutorial is a master class, especially for Snort 3! Simple, straight forward, and strong. Thanks

[TheChemistDIY]

There's not enough Snort tutorials on YT, thanks for putting this out there.

I would love to see a live demo of an attack taking place (real time) and the IDS/IPS vm capturing this as it goes down.

Amazing walkthrough from start to finish. Thank you for providing the documentation my man to follow along and ending the video with ideas to add onto this and expand but asking questions on what content we would like to see and the enthusiasm to create it. Hands down the cybersecurity community is very thankful to have you and as always thank you so much for what you do for the community and looking forward to more technical tool and scenario walkthroughs like these and more to come great work!
