A regular expression (sometimes referred to as “regex”) is a text string for describing a search pattern. Regular expressions go beyond regular wildcards (such as \*.mp3 to find all .mp3 files in a folder). Regular expressions can do a lot more. They are used in programming languages such as Perl, Python, PHP, Java, .NET, and several others. They are also commonly used to create intrusion detection signatures and search patterns in security tools. 4 | 5 | ## Regex Supplemental Resources 6 | Chapter 3 of the SECOPS Book, "Fundamentals of Intrusion Analysis", includes a few examples of regular expressions. The following are several additional resources that will help you become familiar with regular expressions, if you are not familiar with them. 7 | 8 | * Quick-Start: Regex Cheat Sheet: 9 | http://www.rexegg.com/regex-quickstart.html 10 | * Regular Expressions Cheat Sheet by DaveChild: https://www.cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions 11 | * RegExLib: http://regexlib.com/CheatSheet.aspx 12 | * JavaScript Regex Cheatsheet: 13 | https://www.debuggex.com/cheatsheet/regex/javascript 14 | * Python Regex Cheatsheet: https://www.debuggex.com/cheatsheet/regex/python 15 | 16 | ## Regex Interactive Exercises and Games 17 | 18 | * Regex Cross­word: https://regexcrossword.com 19 | * RegexOne - Learn Regular Expressions with simple, interactive exercises: https://regexone.com 20 | * Regex 101: https://regex101.com 21 | * Debuggex: https://www.debuggex.com 22 | * Regex Golf: https://alf.nu/RegexGolf 23 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
