Day 38 – #100DaysOfCybersecurity 🔐 Today, I continued working on my NIDS project and focused on configuring and troubleshooting Suricata. I ran into several challenges that highlighted how fragile IDS visibility can be when misconfigured. Challenges I encountered: - My IDS sensor interface was not in promiscuous mode, so it couldn’t see traffic traversing the infrastructure (victim) server. → Attacks were happening, but Suricata had no visibility. - Suricata logs were stored in pretty-printed JSON, which made correlation and CLI parsing with tools like jq harder than with line-delimited JSON. - I initially bound Suricata to the wrong network interface, so no alerts were generated even though rules were correct. - My custom SSH detection rule failed due to HOME_NET misconfiguration, causing Suricata to treat the victim as out-of-scope. - Debugging required repeated restarts and config validation, reinforcing how small misconfigurations can completely break IDS visibility. Key takeaway: Today’s work reinforced that an IDS is only effective if: - It is listening on the correct interface - It has proper network visibility - Its logs are usable for analysis Even when attacks are occurring, detection fails if the sensor cannot see or correctly interpret the traffic. These challenges gave me hands-on insight into real-world NIDS tuning and troubleshooting, and they set a strong foundation for improving my detection logic and log analysis in the next phase of the project. Next: Refine rules, fix logging format, and begin correlating Suricata alerts with attacker activity. On to Day 39. 🛡️📊 @jay_hunts @ireteeh @segoslavia #RedTeamer #NIDS #Suricata #SOC #CyberSecurityLab #LearningInPublic #100DaysOfCybersecurity
