As robots become more connected and operate across public and private networks, network-level intrusion detection is critical. In this guide, part of our comprehensive ROS 2 robot hardening series, you'll learn how to install and configure Suricata on Ubuntu 24.04 to monitor ROS 2 DDS traffic and detect suspicious activity in real time. We walk through host-based deployment, automated scripting via main.sh, and how to validate your setup—empowering you to build safer, more resilient robotic systems.

This article explores a security architecture designed to prevent a mischievous clown robot from going rogue. By leveraging Linux security policies, encryption, and strict access controls, it ensures that the robot’s prank mechanisms—like its bubble gun—operate safely. Key protections include isolating critical modules, enforcing token-based authentication, and implementing kernel-level security with SELinux and AppArmor to prevent unauthorized access.
