#Suricata #SuricataTraining

Background:
for my #homelab I set up #suricata in #nixos and have a functioning #ids #intrusiondetection system with a #grafana dashboard (#flake info here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/commit/9ebc4cd68ba461b0baad990cbdd4a4ef50b57045/features/network-appliance/README.md ).
Preliminary plan:
I now want to go to and #ips #intrusionprevention system that blocks threats detected. Current plan is #nftables with #nfqueue but there is no GUI for that it seems, and it is a bit clunky and black-boxy.
Question: What are the more user-friendly options for an IPS front-end / GUI ?
Thanks!

Made a transparent network bridge on #NixOS which sits between router & #LAN switch, monitoring traffic for #IDS #intrusiondetection , #Suricata and #Zeek capture and analyze packets → #Filebeat ships #logs → #Elasticsearch with #GeoIP ingest pipeline → #Grafana setup of dashboard to visualise data is defined in flake itself so using the flake will give the same dashboard. #flake details here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/branch/main/features/network-appliance
