Now available on the world-wide web @ https://suricata.y4k.dev

Snake-powered pipe cleaner eats single-line Suricata rules and poops out pleasantly-spaced, vibrantly-coloured delicacies straight to your plate. Examine this exemplary example:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> 94.242.238.242 6565 (msg:"EmergingThreats:Indicator-2405101"; flow:to_server,established; flags:S; reference:url,doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/BotCC; reference:url,www.shadowserver.org; threshold: type limit, track by_src, seconds 360, count 1; classtype:trojan-activity; flowbits:set,ET.Evil; flowbits:set,ET.BotccIP; sid: 533; rev:4991;)

Now watch as the snake-babies devour such fine a morsel – the last food for winter – then travel northward to return to their mates, leaving behind their season's work:

Snake poop
