Change Log
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date:  10/08/2013
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update adds support for the Emerging Threats Pro ruleset to the Snort package.  The ETPro ruleset is mutually exclusive to the Emerging Threats Open (ETOpen) ruleset.  Because the ETPro ruleset contains all of the ETOpen rules in addition to a number of others, it is not necessary to run both rulesets simultaneously.  Therefore when  the ETPro ruleset is selected, the ETOpen ruleset is automatically disabled.  ETPro rules require a paid subscription through the Emerging Threats service.  You must enter your ETPro subscription code as part of the configuration.

Two bugs are also addressed in this package update.

1. FQDN Aliases, if they pointed to more than one IP address, were not properly delimited when expanded.

2. Aliases containing port ranges (such as 137:139, etc.) were not being expanded into the full list of individual ports prior to being written to certain preprocessor configuration lines in the snort.conf file.
