Yes, this was a LONG time ago. Note that ALL of the date timestamps are dashed out. Gee, I wonder why. As well as normal incident response, the entire snort team did a major audit of snort at that time for anything injected.

BTW, for those of you wanting the original sneeze, its still available online at http://snort.sourceforge.net/sneeze-1.0.tar
Hi Brian,

Are you willing to share anything about the incident which would help those of us who naturally think we're a step or two behind your org in preventing compromises?

e.g., did any of the following play a role?

.rhosts
weak passwords
yada yada

rgds/ldv
