  Description     : Next Generation Intrusion Detection and Prevention Tool

(The description is being worked on)

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System (IDS). It is based on
rules (and is fully compatible with snort rules) to detect a variety of
attacks / probes by searching packet content.
This new Engine supports Multi-Threading, Automatic Protocol Detection
(IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, TLS, FTP and SMB), Gzip Decompression, Fast
IP Matching and coming soon hardware acceleration on CUDA and OpenCL GPU
cards.

Note that Suricata depends on the libhtp library which I intend to
package as well.
