Hyperscan
A high-performance multiple regex matching library using hybrid automata for simultaneous pattern matching across data streams.
What is Hyperscan?
Hyperscan is a high-performance multiple regular expression matching library developed by Intel that uses hybrid automata techniques to enable simultaneous matching of large numbers of patterns (up to tens of thousands) across data streams. It provides a C API compatible with libpcre syntax and is designed specifically for scenarios requiring efficient pattern matching at scale, particularly in network security and deep packet inspection applications.
Developers building network security tools, intrusion detection systems, deep packet inspection solutions, and applications requiring high-performance regex matching across streaming data.
Developers choose Hyperscan for its exceptional performance when matching thousands of patterns simultaneously across data streams, its compatibility with familiar libpcre syntax, and its proven reliability in demanding network security applications where traditional regex libraries would struggle with scale.
