Stamus Networks Announces Availability of Suricata Language Server

"Signatures are the foundation of all Suricata-based network detection and response (NDR) solutions. But the subtleties of writing signatures for Suricata can be problematic for the threat researcher," said Éric Leblond, co-founder and chief technology officer of Stamus Networks. "A well-written signature can detect advanced attacks and variants with negligible false positives, while a poorly-written signature can negatively impact system performance. So, we developed this tool to help streamline the rule-writing process and ensure the rules are optimized for performance."

The Suricata Language Server is available under the GPLv3 license and is hosted on Github. The documentation provides configuration examples for Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Neovim, Sublime Text, and Kate, but it will work for any editor that supports LSP. For the popular Visual Studio Code, the company released a turnkey plugin on Visual Studio Marketplace.
