Easy Rules Manager is a Windows-based GUI application developed by IDappcom for centralized management of Snort intrusion detection/prevention rules across multiple sensors in enterprise network environments. The tool addresses the challenge of managing rules from multiple sources and deploying them to multiple IDS/IPS sensors simultaneously, which is a common operational burden in Defence in Depth deployments. Key capabilities include: - Centralized rule management with multi-user access via a LocalDB database backend - Import of rules from multiple sources, including Oinkcode-compatible rules feeds and user-defined sources - Manual or scheduled rule downloads and deployments - Custom rule creation, editing, cloning, sorting, and filtering - A Rules Library and Policy Manager for organizing and automating policy creation - Sensor Manager for deploying rules to multiple remote IDS/IPS sensors via SSH, with site-based grouping - Consolidation of orphaned Flowbits rules - Local IDS sensor support for rules testing and tuning - A built-in SysLog Server with alert-to-rule correlation, WhoIs lookup, and Wireshark filter integration - Dashboard providing statistical database overview - User audit and logging with a Report Viewer
