Snort asks users to change their update settings |
|
Snort is a network intrusion detection program. The software, which can be run on most members of the Linux and BSD families, is one component of pfSense. The Snort team has asked that pfSense users install the latest Snort package update or adjust their Snort update settings as, currently, pfSense machines are all checking the Snort servers for rule updates at the same time. "We recently were in touch with the package maintainer for Snort on pfSense, to which he was so kind to update the "Rules Update Start Time" to be random on install in version v3.2.9.10_3. For more information about this update, please check out Bill's forum post here. This update randomizes the start time of the Rules Update for every installation so that we don't have every installation of pfSense in the world simultaneously hitting Snort.org to check for updates all in the same second. As you can imagine, this causes quite a bit of a traffic spike on the site." Further information on the update can be found in the Snort project's blog post. |
