[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

rrioux just announced version 2.8.6.1 of Snort on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This release fixes installer packages to include the correct version of the
sensitive data preprocessor for Linux and Windows. It eliminates false positives
when using fast_pattern:only and having only one HTTP content in the pattern
matcher. It addresses false positives in the FTP preprocessor with string format
verification. It also addresses issue with handling of response codes to data
transfer commands where the response code didn't contain a message.

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.
