RE: Attention: Win32 Users - Snort 1.8.7 "STABLE RELEASE" Binaries Available

["Michael Steele" <michaels () silicondefense com>]

Don,

If you are going to use Flexible Response then you will need to drop the
LibnetNT.dll file into the same folder as Snort. The file is included
with the binary. You will also need to convert the rules to use
FlexRESP.

There is a difference in each version. Snort is one file, so that's why
the different binaries. When I packaged Snort I started with the basic
files for the Snort package. I then dropped each binary of Snort into
the basis package, and compressed it for distribution. The only other
file that I added to the basic package was LibNetNT.dll which I only
added to the FlexRESP packages.
