SELKS by Stamus Networks is a free, open-source, turnkey Suricata-based network security solution that combines intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS), network security monitoring (NSM), network detection and response (NDR), and threat hunting capabilities. It is released under GPL 3 and serves as a production-grade solution for small-to-medium organizations, hobbyists, and educational settings. SELKS is available as a live and installable Debian-based ISO or via Docker compose on any Linux operating system. The platform integrates multiple components through Stamus CE, the Stamus Networks open-source application, providing a web interface for managing various aspects of the system. SELKS is designed to expose serious and imminent threats to critical assets within the network and empower security teams to respond quickly to detected threats and mitigate risks.
