Hey Everyone,
Snort v2.4 is now officially available. This release includes a number
of new features, fixes and performance enhancements, including the Frag3
preprocessor (a target-based IP defragmentation module) and an
"ftpbounce" rule detection plugin.
With this release, rules are no longer distributed as part of the Snort
releases, they are available as a separate download from snort.org. This
was done for three reasons:
1. To better manage the new rules licensing
2. To reduce the size of the engine download
3. To move the thousands of documentation files for the rules into the
rules tarballs. If you've ever checked Snort out of CVS you'll know why
this is a Good Thing
Snort tarballs and RPMs as well as detailed set of release notes are
available at http://www.snort.org/dl.
If you have any feedback, let us know - snort-team@sourcefire.com.
Happy Snorting!
Cheers,
Jennifer
