https://github.com/firnsy/barnyard2 is not maintained.


interesting... when did it become unmaintained?? my understanding is that it has been /the/ tool to use to put snort U2 
logs into databases for several years...

in any case, thanks for the heads up... i'll stop recommending it if it is not the Talos recommended tool to use...


AFAIK, It's still the tool, and works just fine.  Just because it hasn't been updated in awhile doesn't mean it doesn't 
still work.  But we are aware that it hasn't been updated in awhile
