New netsniff-ng and NSM packages now available
I've packaged a new version of netsniff-ng that allows for dropping privileges to a non-root user and I've updated the NSM scripts to take advantage of that. These new packages fix the following issues:
Issue 310: Update netsniff-ng
Issue 320: Update NSM scripts so that nsm_sensor_ps-restart includes $PCAP_OPTIONS
Issue 311: Update NSM scripts to run netsniff-ng as non-root user
Issue 318: Update NSM scripts to force netsniff-ng to write to proper directory
Issue 303: Update NSM scripts so that sensor_cleandisk looks for unified2 files in proper directories
The new packages have been tested by the following (thanks!):

Updating
The new packages are now available in our stable repo. You can initiate the upgrade process using the graphical Update Manager or using the following one-liner:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgradeOnce the new packages are installed, you'll need to restart netsniff-ng to run the new binary as a non-root user:
sudo nsm_sensor_ps-restart --only-pcap

Please note that, if you normally use the Registered User VRT Ruleset, you are on a 30-day delay and rules may not be available for Snort 2.9.4.1 yet.
The Snort update will do the following:
- back up each of your existing snort.conf file(s) to snort.conf.bak
- update Snort to 2.9.4.1
If you're running Snort in production, then you'll need to do the following:
- apply your local customizations to the new snort.conf file(s)
- update ruleset and restart Snort as follows:
sudo rule-update
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade |
snort -V |
Apply any local customizations to snort.conf and then run "sudo rule-update" |
