Snort IPv6

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Community: Recently, OMB (Office of Management and Budget) issued a mandate that all federal agencies be IPv6 compliant by 2008. This sparks the question of federal and military organizations who will be going through an IPv6 roll-out as to when Snort will have support for IPv6 addressing. I understand that previous attempts were made to make modifications to the Snort core for support of IPv6 but were abandoned and whether or not they are still being worked on is in question. My understanding is that support of IPv6 will require a rewrite of some, if not all, of Snort's Preprocessors and IPv6 support furthermore, can not be done simply with the use of a Preprocessor, rather modifications to the Snort core itself. Does anyone have any insight in to these efforts or can anyone answer intelligently to this issue. Does anyone know of a project currently being developed or worked on that is working towards this effort?
