Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 03:08:14 -0400 Message-ID: <3B7A1FDE.66007A93at_private> X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE i386) Hi everyone, Snort 1.8.1 is available on our brand new web site! Please head on over to http://www.snort.org and have a look at the new site and check out the new release. For the impatient, you can get the latest tarball straight from http://www.snort.org/releases/snort-1.8.1-RELEASE.tar.gz. What's new and different about this release, you ask? Here's the scoop: * SNMP alerting support added by Glenn Mansfield Keeni & K. Jayanthi * IDMEF output support compiled in by default now * regex keyword code repaired, limited regex/wildcards now available in the rules language * new packet counters added to Snort stats output for frags and streams * http_decode preprocessor modified to normalize %u encoding * new detection modes in frag2, Snort picks up fragmentation attacks (teardrop, etc) much better now * repaired frag2 IP defragmenter, now highly stable and functional * tweaks made to stream4 TCP stream reassembler, now highly stable * Win32 code integrated with main Snort source now * fix for -r mode crash when no other command line options specified * fix for logfile names using ":" under win32 * tag code repaired, tags now work as expected (perhaps better even!) * spp_arpspoof repaired * stream4 alerts are now off by default * syslog alerts now support standard GEN:SID:REV data As always, the cast of characters that made this all possible is a lengthy list of great people, and I'd like to mention just a few who were especially helpful and supportive as we got things going for this release: Phil Wood, Fyodor Yarochkin, Brian Caswell, Bill Gercken, Roman Danyliw, Jed Pickel, and Joe McAlerney. Enjoy! -Marty -- Martin Roesch roeschat_private http://www.sourcefire.com - http://www.snort.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Elias Levy SecurityFocus.com http://www.securityfocus.com/ Si vis pacem, para bellum
