RE: Snort doubt

["Chas Tomlin" <cet () ecs soton ac uk>]

If you'd like to try out a version of snort with IPv6 support give this
modified version a go;

http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~cet/snort/snort-2.3.3-IPv6b4.tar.gz

It has been modified by Ken Renard whom you should contact with any bugs
etc. It would be really nice if the official snort version had IPv6
support sometime soon? What d'ya think Marty???

Thanks

Chas Tomlin
