- snort-2.9.17.1-1.{fc31,fc32,fc33,el7,el8}.x86_64.rpm -
Snort is an open source network intrusion detection system, capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks.
It can perform protocol analysis, content searching/matching and can be used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows,
stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more.
See here for the changes in this version.
This release includes support for PF_Ring for CentOS/RHEL 7 and 8 for the x86_64 architecture.
This release contains these two additional symbolic links that are intended to simplify writing Snort configuration rules in that they are no longer required to contain the Snort version in the path name. These symbolic links are:
- /usr/lib64/snort_dynamicengine → snort-2.9.17.0_dynamicengine
- /usr/lib64/snort_dynamicpreprocessor → snort-2.9.17.0_dynamicpreprocessor
Furthermore, the Snort configuration file - /etc/snort/snort.conf - references these version-agnostic path names.
- snort-sample-rules-2.9.17.1-1.{fc31,fc32,fc33,el7,el8}.noarch.rpm -
These rules are sample rules only and are intended to allow snort to start successfully.
These rules only flag HTTP traffic destined for port 80.
Please see the snort rules page to acquire a current set of snort rules.
- snort-openappid-2.9.17.1-1.{fc31,fc32,fc33,el7,el8}.x86_64.rpm -
This is the snort package built --enable-open-appid option added to the configure script that configures the build of snort.
See here for more details.
See the OpenAppId Detector Developer Guide for more information.
To install snort-openappid on your system, you must first remove snort.
Here is an example:
if rpm -q --quiet snort; then sudo rpm -ev snort --nodeps; fi
In addition, this release includes support for PF_Ring for CentOS/RHEL 7 and 8 for the x86_64 architecture.sudo dnf install snort-openappid # On CentOS/RHEL, use yum instead of dnf
