[Oisf-users] Suricata 4.0 Emerging Threats Ruleset Fork

[Francis Trudeau]

All,

We are happy to announce that we will be offering an optimized
Suricata 4.0 ruleset starting Tuesday, 21 November, 2017.

This ruleset will utilize many new features of the Suricata 4.0
engine. The Suricata 2.0 and Snort 2.9 rules will still be developed
and supported and can be downloaded from their current location.
Please check your configuration to ensure that you will be pulling the
correct signature set for your engine version.

The Emerging Threats team will be working to convert rules in the
Suricata 4.0 ruleset into optimized rules over the coming weeks and
months.
