# Autosuricata: September 2025 update Hey everyone, [quite some time ago](https://community.emergingthreats.net/t/want-to-get-started-with-nsm-i-have-a-few-projects-for-you-building-virtual-machine-labs-autosnort3-autosuricata/1043/1), I discussed some side projects of mine that I’ve worked on. I’d like to announce some updates I’ve made to one of those projects, [Autosuricata](https://github.com/da667/Autosuricata). In a nutshell this project is a shell script designed to build and compile the latest stable release of Suricata from source on practically any Linux-based system that utilizes the `apt` package manager. I made this script some time ago to serve as a companion with the _Building Virtual Machine Labs_ book. Here are some highlights with this month’s new release: - Confirmed support for Suricata 8.0.0, - `vectorscan` installed and compiled manually for hyperscan support, - `DPDK` support also manually installed/compiled to support DPDK features in suricata, - Downloading and installing the latest DPDK LTS release (24.11.3), - Most compile processes changed from `make` to `make -j` to speed up compilation on multi-core systems, - Confirmed support and functionality on Debian 13 (in addition to Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04), Detailed instructions on usage, are available in the `readme.md`, and are very straightforward. By default, this script installs and assumes inline mode operation with `AFPACKET` bridging, but the docs will guide you on which bits you’d need to change to do passive operation. Finally, some of the bits, (vectorscan, and DPDK both) take a significant amount of time to compile. If you need to know what the script is doing while its running, a log file is created and updated in realtime at `/var/log/autosuricata_install.log`. So users can run `tail -f /var/log/autosuricata_install.log` in a separate terminal window to follow along. As always, happy hunting. -Tony Robinson
