Attention FreeBSD Snort users!

In the past, and up until this most recent release of Snort 2.9.7.5, FreeBSD has downloaded its packages from SourceForge's Snort repository.

This is no longer the case.

Starting with this release (2.9.7.5) FreeBSD's port system now retrieves Snort from it's proper home, Snort.org, as we hope all package maintainers for Snort do.

In the future we will be moving all the historical versions off of SourceForge into a more appropriate place as well.  As always, we will keep our users updated via this blog of any changes we make to the systems.

Thanks!

FreeBSD 10 Shared Object rules are now available!

Last week we began distributing FreeBSD 10 Shared Object rules in the Rule Pack.  This means that we will discontinue distributing FreeBSD 8 in the Shared Object rule pack in a few weeks.

I'll update with an additional post when that date gets closer, however, if you are using FreeBSD 8, I would encourage you to start thinking about your upgrade.
