Snort - problems in rules - jamesdean
-
I think for most people everything was running great in snort until the updates that came out a week or so ago. At that point the messages in this forum started going way up in snort problems.
I would be guessing that nothing changed in our snorts, but snort.org did some rule changes that broke our installs.
Sad part is that we only have 1 guru of snort, Jamesdean. When he is busy, we are lost….Honestly for me, what keeps me using pfsense, is proxy and intrusion detection. If not, I would switch to another system (maybe).... Right now squid/squidguard here is always iffy, but snort has been mostly rock solid.
So is there any way us small users can help you out james? I wish I could send you free time, but I am lacking that also. Small donation of something? Any hardware for testing you may need?

Thanx tester.
I had to leave for a while so I could work on paid projects.
I'll setup a paypal account so you guys can help me pay for my beer.
I like to build a vmware server so I can test all 4 versions of pfsense (pfsense 1.2.3 x86, pfsense 1.2.3 x64, pfsense 2.0 x86, pfsense 2.0 x64) for snort at the same time.
That way I wont have to reinstall pfsens on my Alix3D every time there is a issue.Wish list.

Yes, please put up a paypal.
I was hoping for some lower end hardware wishlist :) All I've got is low end spare parts like an Athlon II.I am hoping that people reading this will understand that we can all help in our own way. While Jamesdean helps programming, maybe we can all help with a little bit of $$. Even small home users such as me can and should poney up some $$ to help out. I know every couple of months I try to make a point of it.
I love opensouce, but sometimes people forget that there are real people behind the scene.

Dont stress its called a wish list for a reason.
Paypal button is now at the Snort Faq.
Thanks
