Hi Mattia, snort is a great tool, and I am using it since a long time. I do not know, if snort is still maintained by debian, but there is a successor which is called "suricata". Suricata is in the debian repo, and it shall better work with the ressources
(for example it is splitting into seperate processes). However, for my personal view, snort is easier to configure and its resuklts are better to be seen tahn in suricata. Suricata has no nice reporting tool like snort (although there shall be an external tool, forgot the name). Sorry, can not tell more, however, I hope this helps either.

For what I found online it seems that snort is the most used IDS, so I find it quite odd that it's not maintained in Debian. Is this still true? Do you guys use it? Or it's better to move to other software? Can somebody please point me to an external source that has an up to date snort debian package? I've found a lot of documentation online but it's either quite old or provides instructions to build it from source. Thanks in advance
