Suricata is being explored further in a robotics project to monitor network interactions for security and system behavior during development and deployment.
With modern robots having multiple network interfaces, monitoring network traffic is crucial, and Suricata offers deep packet inspection capabilities.
Suricata operates in IDS mode, providing intrusion detection through deep packet inspection and configurable rules for generating alerts.
A custom Python script can distill Suricata logs, grouping entries for better analysis, revealing traffic patterns and potential intrusion attempts.
