Dear Snort Users,




I am writing as a subscriber and user of Snort to respectfully request assistance in obtaining at least one official documentation or reference material that details how Snort is capable of detecting and/or preventing covert malware communications across various channels.




Our organization is currently undergoing a compliance audit, and this documentation is critical in demonstrating our capabilities in network-based threat detection and prevention. Specifically, we are looking to show how Snort can play a role in identifying covert channels or hidden malware communications, which is a key requirement in our security compliance checklist.




Any official whitepaper, technical documentation, or configuration example that supports this functionality would be immensely helpful.




We would be truly grateful for any support or guidance you can provide, and we deeply appreciate the continued development and contribution of the Snort project to the cybersecurity community.




Thank you in advance for your assistance.




Warm regards,
Jerwill
