Threat Intelligence Project (TIP) Update!
Submitted by enhanced on Tue, 2010-02-09 14:52After much waiting and anticipating, we are excited to announce that we will be releasing a client for those that wish to participate in the TIP project.
The initial release will have the option to obfuscate the IP addresses and potentially the payload, though we don't think that this really is in the spirit of things and does not afford the world the intelligence that could be derived were this data not obfuscated.
Having said all of this in a variety of grammatically incorrect ways, please keep posted for the download and additional details to follow.

Snort SID Information URL
Submitted by enhanced on Thu, 2009-06-25 12:24To combat the recent influx of "where is the Snort SID documentation" on the Snort mailing lists, I have created the following URL that you can use to update your BASE or whatever it is that you are using to view your Snort events.
Simply use the following url in your reference config:
http://rootedyour.com/snortsid?sid=xxxxx (where xxxx is the SID number itself)
i.e. http://rootedyour.com/snortsid?sid=234
Thank you for your time,
please drive fast and take chances

Submitted by enhanced on Wed, 2009-06-10 13:35It's curious... and I really don't know how good or bad it is that MS released fixes for 31 security issues in a single day.
I mean, does this speak more to their security issues, or does it speak more to their security practices and patching program?
