Snort is an open source network intrusion detection and prevention system. It is designed to detect malicious network activity and alert the user so the activity can be stopped or the system can be secured. Snort is capable of detecting attacks and intrusions by using a rule–based language, which allows users to customize the system to their needs. It is widely used in the security industry as a first line defense against cyber attacks, and is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD operating systems.
