Upgrading Snort to 2.9.6.2, the ruleset.

In the past, when a new version of Snort was released, Registered Rule Users had to wait for 30 days before they could upgrade to the newest version of Snort in order to receive the rule feed.

No longer.

As I mentioned in a previous post on the subject, we now are pushing updates to the Registered and Subscriber rulesets at the same time.  If you navigate to the Snort.org downloads page, you'll notice that you can immediately download the Registered ruleset for Snort version 2.9.6.2.

This means that people can now stay current with their version of Snort, no more waiting to upgrade and no more delays in getting the latest features!
