Re: Snort 2.8 Beta Available on CVS

We do not maintain barnyard, so I don't know if someone will update it
to support unified2. However, it shouldn't be hard to update anything
that worked with Unified1 to work with Unified2. Check spo_unified2.c
spo_unified2.h. IMHO, its even easier to work with since everything is
in network byte order.

I don't believe there are any plans at this point to update the
database output plugin for IPv6 support.


Cheers,
Justin

Hi Justin,

Unified2 supports IPv6.

yes, but this does not answer the question how this will fit in
the database.

I guess barnyard is not able to work with unified2, or? And if so there
is still the question how (or where) to insert IPv6 alerts.

Maybe we have to extend the database scheme by an IpHdr6 table and a field
where we mention which IP version belongs to the alert so that we can check
the right tables? And I think we need also fields for header extensions...

I think this is not a big deal but one has to find a scheme which can be
used by all and should not break with the old one. Or we schould create
a complete new scheme?

Best regards

Dirk
