Snort++ Github Changes

The Snort++ project has moved to an organization account on github.  Please update your remote to pull directly from the new repo:

    https://github.com/snort3/snort3.git

Note that the old remote will be forwarded to the new repo automatically until you switch over.

In addition, there are now two new repos:

    https://github.com/snort3/snort3_demo.git
    https://github.com/snort3/snort3_extra.git

The demo repo provides a BATS test suite to validate and demonstrate various use cases.  It currently has over 50 tests and will continue to grow.  It is also a great way to report bugs with everything required for reproduction.  If you have other uses cases to contribute, please open a pull request.

The extra repo has the code that was in snort3/extra/.  It was split into a separate repo to make it easier to manage and completely optional.  This is a great place to add plugins you would like to contribute to the community.

Questions or suggestions about these repos should go to snort-devel@lists.snort.org.

Snort.org update, user accounts, and mailing list assistance

To ensure that our users have control over their accounts, we have added a new feature to Snort.org (for some reason, we never had)... if you no longer require your account on Snort.org, you may now delete it.

After you log into your account, you will see a new "Delete Account" button:



This action will delete your account (which contains your email address, last logged in IP, and oinkcode).  In addition to deleting your account, it will also attempt to unsubscribe you from our four mailing lists.

We've also added the ability to subscribe and unsubscribe from the mailing lists below the "Login" section of the account.  Placing a checkbox in the mailing list you'd like to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to, and hitting the appropriate button (Subscribe on the left or Unsubscribe on the right) will send an email to the mailing list with your request. In turn, you will be required to verify your request via an email that will be sent to your inbox.  This is a double confirmation.

That's it!  Snort.org holds no other data on you or your user account, and all records of your account being present will be completely removed.

Thank you so much for supporting Snort.  With over 600,000 active user accounts and about 1000 new accounts created every week, our community continues to grow at a rapid pace.
