We're proud to announce that a new version of the Suricata engine is available for download! There are some major changes and significant improvements, we ask that you give this a run and continue giving us feedback and patches! http://www.openinfosecfoundation.org/index.php/downloads The 0.8.1 release brings the following new features: - the engine will now detect the number of cpu's/core's and setup the engine to use them fully - libhtp is now included in the source - experimental CUDA support for NVIDIA GPU accelerated pattern matching - initial support for Win32 (using mingw) was added - FreeBSD/Mac OS X IPFW inline support was added - many options in the configuration file for performance tuning - VLAN decoding support was added - Prelude output support Major issues fixed & improvements made: - threading issues in the unified1 and unified2 logging modules - major stream engine issues were solved - uricontent, urilen inspection is now done against the libhtp parsed uri - ip only signature detection fixes in inline mode - add the /P (request body) option to the pcre keyword - many SMB, SMB2 and DCERPC improvements - logging is more configurable - pcap and pfring modes support for bpf was added - many bugs were fixed, cleanups were made Known issues: - Some signatures fail to load because of missing keywords or keyword options - We have identified some serious performance issues with certain signatures and traffic combinations - Although we improved big endian support, there are still some issues - CUDA code is expected to work only on 32bit and probably doesn't speed things up yet as we will need further redesign to fully benefit ---------------------------------------------------- Matthew Jonkman Emerging Threats Open Information Security Foundation (OISF) Phone 765-429-0398 Fax 312-264-0205 http://www.emergingthreats.net http://www.openinfosecfoundation.org ---------------------------------------------------- PGP: http://www.jonkmans.com/mattjonkman.asc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
