Emerging Threats today announces an open call for developers to assist in creating QA, load testing, backend management, and execute rule porting activities to support a professional-grade IDS ruleset for multiple IDS engines and platforms.
With this call for developers, Emerging Threats seeks to further engage and employ both existing and new members of the open-source security community.
The Suricata engine is a significant supported platform in addition to Snort and others. With advanced features such as a multi-threaded design and IP reputation, Suricata unlocks the potential for a more advanced ruleset than was previously possible.
With the speed of malware creation rapidly advancing, Emerging Threats plans to create additional research and intelligence resources to advance rulesets and policies. This will allow Emerging Threats to continue to provide individuals and companies with the advanced protection they have come to expect from the open community.
Emerging Threats is an open source community project that produces the fastest and most diverse IDS signature set available today, through the contributions and support of its community.
Successful candidates should be familiar with the snort rule syntax, Suricata, malware trends and command and control methods, vulnerability concepts, and a deep understanding of network protocols.
