Title: Suricata 1.4.6 pkg v0.1 BETA 

Suricata 1.4.6 pkg v0.1 BETA
=======================
This is a port of the Suricata IDS package for pfSense. The Suricata binary version is 1.4.6 and the GUI package version is at 0.1. This is a BETA release. Use on a production system is NOT recommended. This BETA version is deployed to solicit user feedback and allow more widespread testing by others.

The Suricata package GUI borrows very heavily from the Snort package GUI, so users familiar with Snort on pfSense should feel right at home administering Suricata. However, you should still consult the Suricata documentation at http://suricata-ids.org/ for details on all the features in Suricata.

IMPORTANT NOTE
--------------------------
This initial BETA release provides intrusion detection only (IDS mode only). It will not block intruders nor will it drop offending traffic. It simply analyzes traffic and logs alerts. Suricata features such as file download capture, full packet capture, http session logging, files-json logging and Barnyard2 unified2 support are all available. Later releases of this package will incorporate the IPS feature for Suricata.
