We've been running IPv6 snort for a while modified by Ken Renard. Chas
-----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users- admin () lists sourceforge net] On Behalf Of Eric Hines Sent: 02 February 2006 14:57 To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] Snort IPv6 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Community: Recently, OMB (Office of Management and Budget) issued a mandate that all federal agencies be IPv6 compliant by 2008. This sparks the
question
of federal and military organizations who will be going through an
IPv6
roll-out as to when Snort will have support for IPv6 addressing. I understand that previous attempts were made to make modifications to the Snort core for support of IPv6 but were abandoned and whether or
not
they are still being worked on is in question. My understanding is that support of IPv6 will require a rewrite of
some,
if not all, of Snort's Preprocessors and IPv6 support furthermore, can not be done simply with the use of a Preprocessor, rather
modifications
to the Snort core itself. Does anyone have any insight in to these efforts or can anyone answer intelligently to this issue. Does anyone know of a project currently being developed or worked on that is working towards this effort?
