Hi Anshuman,

Try and google on

site:vrt-blog.snort.org "zero-day" already covered

you'll see entries like "You've been protected for more than a week" etc.

I remember one Microsoft targeted attack which was blocked by a
protection for more than a year already, or so. No specifics stick to my
mind, ever.

Greetings

Hi,

 

Can I get some past references or examples where snort was able to
protect from zero day (0 day) attacks, may be with open signatures or
using subscriber/registered set of signatures?

 

 

Thanks and Regards,

Anshuman
