Introduction
What is Dynamite Network Security Monitor?
DynamiteNSM is a lightweight network security monitor conveniently bundled as a Python ≥3.7 package.
Built initially to simplify the installation of Zeek and Suricata, the package now includes a robust set of Python modules for installing and managing both network monitoring and data visualization services.
However, you do not need to write a single line of code to begin using DynamiteNSM.
The package comes with a commandline utility that automates the deployment of passive, packet-sniffing agents throughout your network, along with a monitor for visualizing the events produced by them.
- The Agent extracts Zeek network metadata merged with Suricata IDS security alerts and forwards them to a downstream collector.
- The Monitor receives these events, normalizing and indexing them, so that they can be visualized and queried later.
DynamiteNSM can provide insights into a variety of network environments including high-speed data centers, small-to-large enterprises, IoT & industrial networks, and even at home.
