Everyone, With the release of Snort 2.8.6.1 the clock started ticking for the support of Snort 2.8.5.3 rules. On October 22nd 2010, 90 days after the 2.8.6.1 release date, support for the 2.8.5.3 rule set will cease. For registered users there will be an extra 30 days after this date due to the 30 day delay you currently experience with rule releases. Upgrading your security software is just good practice and an essential part of your security posture, you should plan on upgrading your 2.8.5 installations to 2.8.6.x ASAP. Note that although 2.8.5.3 rules will work with a 2.8.6.x version of Snort, the same cannot be said for 2.8.6.x rules in a 2.8.5.x environment. Remember, on October 22nd the only rules available will be for Snort 2.8.6.x. -- Nigel Houghton Head Mentalist SF VRT Department of Intelligence Excellence http://vrt-sourcefire.blogspot.com && http://labs.snort.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
