What are Packet Analyzers for Elastic Observability?
Packet analyzers, also known as packet sniffers or network analyzers, are tools used to monitor, capture, and analyze data packets traveling through a network. These tools help network administrators troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and detect security threats by examining the content and metadata of transmitted data. Packet analyzers operate by intercepting network traffic and displaying information such as protocols, source and destination addresses, and payload details. While beneficial for network management, their misuse can pose security risks, such as unauthorized data interception.

Snort
Cisco
Snort is the foremost Open Source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in the world. Snort IPS uses a series of rules that help define malicious network activity and uses those rules to find packets that match against them and generates alerts for users. Snort can be deployed inline to stop these packets, as well. Snort has three primary uses: As a packet sniffer like tcpdump, as a packet logger — which is useful for network traffic debugging, or it can be used as a full-blown network intrusion prevention system. Snort can be downloaded and configured for personal and business use alike. Once downloaded and configured, Snort rules are distributed in two sets: The “Community Ruleset” and the “Snort Subscriber Ruleset.” The Snort Subscriber Ruleset is developed, tested, and approved by Cisco Talos. Subscribers to the Snort Subscriber Ruleset will receive the ruleset in real-time as they are released to Cisco customers.
