Advisory: http://www.coresecurity.com/common/showdoc.php?idx=313&idxseccion=10
Changes:
2.0.0:
======
- Enhanced high-performance detection engine
- Stateful Pattern Matching
- New detection keywords: byte_test & byte_jump
- The Snort code base has undergone an external third party professional
security audit funded by Sourcefire (http://www.sourcefire.com)
- Many new and updated rules
- snort.conf has been updated
- Enhancements to self preservation mechanisms in stream4 and frag2
- State tracking fixes in stream4
- New HTTP flow analyzer
- Enhanced protocol decoding (TCP options, 802.1q, etc)
- Enhanced protocol anomaly detection (IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, RPC, HTTP, etc)
- Enhanced flexresp mode for real-time TCP session sniping
- Better chroot()'ing
- Tagging system updated
- Several million bugs addressed....
- Updated FAQ (thanks to Erek Adams and Dragos Ruiu) Snort 2.0 can be
downloaded at http://www.snort.org/dl/snort-2.0.0.tar.gz. Binary
versions of the codebase will be built over the next several days and
made available at here.
