-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 AS Chris mentioned, the new Libnet API has yet to be really explored. The new libnet has it's own notion of memory management, and to remain *fast*, or as fast as possible, snort currently manages the memory needed to send responses itself (virtually identically to how the old libnet versions did it behind the scenes). The NEW libnet, however, uses several bits of memory to construct a single packet which isn't really viable with the existing flexersp model. - -Jeff - --On Wednesday, September 18, 2002 09:54:56 -0800 Jim Cliver <jim.c () aptalaska net> wrote:
Hello, I am trying to configure snort 1.8.7 with --enable-flexresp switch. I've compiled successfully the latest version of libnet (1.1.0) of 8/5/02 as stated (though not by release) in the INSTALL doc. According to the README doc of libnet 1.1.0 the API has been redesigned, this change has broken the flexresp function and cannot be compiled any longer. My question is, is there an upcoming release of snort that will use the newly available libnet API? There is also included with the libnet distribution a doc titled MIGRATION which discusses the changes to an applications source necessary to make it functional with the new release. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer and am unable to make these changes myself, or so I strongly suspect!:-) Thank you, Clive ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
