What is going on with Snort package?
-
The status is this:
- There was big work done to bring most of the functionality to a stable/workable point
- There are still more things to make usable/workable
- There is not really much planned on upgrading it
This is mostly to the nature of snort package, many want to use it but no-one wants to help on it.

After I finish dansguardian package, I'll take a look on snort to see how can I help.

Thanks Marcello, the biggeset leak of the "2.9.1 pkg v. 2.0.2" package is I think the block function, that do not block all the IPs at the moment…
Thanks,

Please do not make this thread a complaint variation.
For any issue you might have please report in other thread usually there is an explanation for anything.

What help is needed? What is the situation? Developers with no funds? Funds with no developers?

Donating to pfsense project forwarding it to snort devel will be a great start. :)

How much money does snort development need to fix all the known bugs?
-
I think this is a question that should be submitted at portal.pfsense.org or coreteam@pfsense.org
I can say from the work i did, i lost almost one full week with it and it is still with issues.
So another full week probably would be needed. -
I just donated a bit.
Thanks guys!
