We are thrilled to announce that Snort 3 is out of beta with the release candidate for Snort 3.0.3. Snort 3.1.0 general availability will be available in roughly a month.
Snort 3 has been in beta for several months now, and we would like to thank all the users who’ve provided us feedback during that period that we’ve used to polish this product.
There is simply too much to cover in one blog post to highlight what makes Snort 3 so great, so instead we’re rounding up all the blogs we’ve written recently that show off what this version can do. We encourage everyone to shift over to Snort 3 from any versions of Snort 2 when the time is right.
If you have any questions, utilize one of our mailing lists to reach out to us, or refer to the Snort Resources page.
