NST

For a while now, I’ve been trying to find a way to run a sniffer at some location and monitor it remotely via a web page or some curses based GUI. I’ve been working with Snort for years. The web interfaces like Base are ok, but I’ve always wanted a little more functionality. I tried setting up Sguil, but it is a huge pain to configure. I tried some prebuilt vms and they worked nicely, but I need physical sensors. Then I found this. NST has every tool I use and then some. It’s really made life easier. It has Sguil and numerous other applications installed. I had a sensor deployed in around 30 minutes.
