It's what happened when they made a jump from custom design to HP sourced equipment...they were, literally, HP servers with a Cisco blue faceplate. I'm not looking to start a theological debate, and Cisco's got its fair share of warts and assets...I'm just looking for silver linings and it probably won't be -all- bad...but Cisco prices for Snort software...well...at least it's solid code.

Man - everything but ASA. It lacked a very basis like a BGP support, not no mention other things. My home router, SRX100H does BGP just fine. And yeah, ASA = PC. Some cheaper models even displayed an IRQ list during boot and guess what - one was reserved for a sound card. I know some people so much attached to ASA, than after some models they had went bad, and it wasn't possible anymore to get them from Cisco or eBay, the literally made ASA out of commodity parts. It was enough to find the exact model of the motherboard with a BX chipset, the right Intel network cards and guess what - it was working. Still people learn ASA just by running the Linux it's based on in qemu and it's fine. On 7/24/13 2:53 AM, Mike Miller wrote: We had SSM-20's in our ASA5540's at my last job. Worked just fine, and since it had access to the backplane, could do some stuff that would have been difficult otherwise. Funny if those feature modules didn't look a whole lot like a PC...booted from flash, DIMM memory, I'll bet there was an Intel CPU under the heatsink. Whaddaya think a snort installation would do on that hardware?

Keep in mind their objective is to buy a rock star security company/product because it makes good business sense and yes, money. Change is inevitable but not always bad. Sourcefire rocks because they know what they're doing and they do it better than most other IPS vendors. I believe they'll bust ass to make sure the great things stay great while making other things better. It's in Cisco's best interests to do the same. Otherwise it's like using the Turin shroud to wash your car. Even Cisco isn't that stupid. They've got a ways to go before this all approved and final. I recommend taking a deep breath, relax, and hold steady as she goes. It'll work out for the best. Scott P.S. - Congrats to any Sourcefire folks that become insanely rich. Next time we meet at a con drinks are on you. ;-) On Jul 23, 2013 3:54 PM, "Joel Esler" <jesler () sourcefire com> wrote: All — Okay, I am going to try and respond to everyone here, so bear with me. We had an event here today where I was busy, that’s what took me so long. So if anyone is running around their office sweating waiting for some kind of statement from me or Marty other than the blog post I put up this morning: http://blog.snort.org/2013/07/a-continued-commitment-to-open-source.html So, I’ll try and answer some of the emails in one thread and hopefully everyone will feel the same that I feel.
