configuring-suricata-for-network-monitoring

configuring-suricata-for-network-monitoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Njones17/AI-agent-master-cyber-skills-list. It costs 57 tokens per session (3,851 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to deploying and configuring Suricata, a tool that inspects network traffic for suspicious activity. It covers threat rules, custom rules, and EVE JSON logs for sending results to other monitoring systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up real-time network inspection, write custom detection rules, and connect Suricata alerts to a SIEM, a system that collects and analyzes security logs.
Why use it?
It helps teams detect threats moving across an authorized network and send consistent alerts to a central security monitoring platform.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

configuring-suricata-for-network-monitoring scanned grade A with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oisf/suricata-stable

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
