Updating
The new packages are now available in our stable repo.  Please see the following page for full update instructions:
https://code.google.com/p/security-onion/wiki/Upgrade

These updates will do the following:

  • back up your Bro configuration
  • back up each of your existing snort.conf files to snort.conf.bak
  • back up each of your existing suricata.yaml files to suricata.yaml.bak

You'll then need to do the following:
  • re-apply any local customizations to the Bro/Snort/Suricata config
  • restart Bro as follows:
sudo nsm_sensor_ps-restart --only-bro
  • update ruleset and restart Snort/Suricata as follows:
sudo rule-update

Screenshots
Run "sudo soup" which first installs the new PF_RING kernel module

DKMS compiles the new kernel module

Soup then installs the remaining packages

Bro, Snort, and Suricata notify you that config files have been updated and you'll need to add back any local customizations

After adding back any local Bro customizations, restart Bro using "sudo nsm_sensor_ps-restart --only-bro"

After adding back any local snort.conf or suricata.yaml customizations, run "sudo rule-update" to download the latest ruleset for the new IDS engine

rule-update then restarts Barnyard2 and the IDS engine
