## What it is
Clear NDR Community (formerly SELKS) is a Debian-based Linux distribution for network detection and response built around Suricata, OpenSearch, and packet capture tooling. This repository contains the scripts and configuration to build its bootable ISO images, including a headless variant.

## Use cases
- deploy a network intrusion detection system on bare metal
- monitor network traffic and hunt threats with Suricata
- capture packets in PCAP and analyze IDS events
- build a ready-to-use NDR appliance ISO
- run a self-hosted network security monitoring stack

## When to choose
- you want an out-of-the-box Suricata-based NDR/NSM platform
- you need IDS/IPS with a web UI and packet capture in one install
- you prefer a fully open-source, self-hosted network monitoring distribution

## When to avoid
- you need host-based or endpoint detection rather than network monitoring
- you want to integrate IDS into an existing OS instead of a dedicated appliance
- you need a lightweight agent rather than a full distribution

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, security, gui, self-hosted
- domain: security, networking, monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: ids, ips, ndr, suricata, network-security-monitoring, threat-hunting, iso-image, opensearch, pcap, debian-live, linux, web-server
