Hi, in my opinion the snort manual (we are talking about manual.snort.org) focuses on the technical details and does not provide a context of why snort does what it does. I can recommend two books that provide some context: - https://www.amazon.com/Applied-Network-Security-Monitoring-Collection/dp/0124172083 - short, less technical, a good place to start - https://www.amazon.com/Snort-Toolkit-Beales-Source-Security/dp/1597490997 - long, very old, but provides a lot of context and funny statements like "The actual code that parses the various options within Snort is scattered throughout the code base" on page 177 of the 2007 edition, or a mention of snort 3.0 on page 179! It's pretty outrageous that such a fundamental field as network monitoring is still considered an art and there are no readily available materials.
