Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

rrioux just announced version 2.8.4 of Snort on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This release adds a revised DCE/RPC preprocessor with more rule options
(there will be a number of updates to the rules; be sure to update your
rules when that package is available in the next few days), support for
IPv6 in Frag3 and all application preprocessors, improved target-based
support in preprocessors, an option to automatically pre-filter traffic
that is not inspected in order to improve performance, and several other
improvements and fixes.

Project description:

Snort is a network intrusion detection and prevention system. It is the most
widely deployed technology of its kind in the world. It performs detection using
a variety of methods including rules-based detection, anomaly detection, and
heuristic analysis of network traffic. Its rules language is open source and
available to the public as well.
