+- Malicious Network Events Monitoring:
+
+   * Enhances network interfaces with the capability to monitor and capture Malicious Network Events (MNEs) based on predefined criteria such as specific keywords or traffic patterns.
+   * Integrates Number of Malicious Network Events (NMNE) detection functionalities, leveraging configurable settings like ``capture_nmne``, `nmne_capture_keywords``, and observation mechanisms such as ``NicObservation`` to classify and record network anomalies.
+   * Offers an additional layer of security and data analysis, crucial for identifying and mitigating malicious activities within the network infrastructure. Provides vital information for network security analysis and reinforcement learning algorithms.
