    * src/preprocessors/spp_sfportscan.c:
      Fixed arithmetic to correctly set the ip packet length in the ip
      header prior to writing the portscan info to the packet. Thanks Jon
      Hart for the test case and finding the bug.

    * src/decode.c:
      Fixed issue with snort not properly decoding ppp links on MacOS X.
      Thanks Allan Jensen for reporting this and working with us on the
      fix (Roelker).

2004-12-09 Jeremy Hewlett <jh@sourcefire.com>

    * doc/README.http_inspect:
      Updated documentation on flow_depth and HTTP headers per
      conversations with Joe Patterson. Thanks Joe!

    * src/preprocessors/spp_arpspoof.c:
      Added variable names to function prototypes and made cosmetic
      changes to debug messages.  In ARPspoofHostInit() fixed a problem
      where the list of configured IP/MAC entries would contain only one
      entry and leaked memory.  In DetectARPattacks() made a small
      performance improvement by eliminating a copy of the ARP source
      protocol (IP) address (Jeff Nathan).

    * src/snort.h:
    * src/snort.c:
    * src/parser.c:
      Fixed a problem affecting MacOS X where linking may fail with
      non-standard libraries when global symbols are encountered multiple
      times. Removed duplicate globals and externed globals in headers.
      Defined globals in source.  (Jeff Nathan).

    * src/snort.h:
      Snort 2.3.0 RC2

2004-12-08 Daniel Roelker <djr@sourcefire.com>

    * src/preprocessors/snort_httpinspect.c:
      Update error message when IIS Unicode map file is not found.

    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
      Ignore RST|ACK midstream pickup case so we don't get an evasive TCP
      alert.  Thanks for the report, Sekure.

    * src/util.c:
    * src/util.h:
    * src/snort.c:
      Change SanityChecks() to CheckLogDir() so the function name now
      makes sense.  Move CheckLogDir() to after parsing snort.conf (for
      IDS mode), so the logdir config will work if the default or
      command-line logdir does not exist on the system.

2004-11-18 Steve Sturges <ssturges@sourcefire.com>

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_pcre.c:
      Fixed bug when setting the doe_ptr on a successful pcre match.
      It is now set relative to base_ptr.

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_byte_jump.c:
      Added from_beginning and multiplier options for byte_jump.
      from_beginning skips bytes from the beginning of the content,
      instead of from the location immediately following the number
      of bytes to skip.  multiplier takes a numeric argument, and
      skips x times that number of bytes.

2004-11-04 Andrew Mullican <amullican@sourcefire.com>

    * src/detect.c:
    * src/detect.h:
    * src/log.c:
      In "fast" output, now log only actual packet contents when UDP 
      data length is greater than actual data length. Thanks Brian
      Caswell for spotting this.

2004-11-04 Jeremy Hewlett <jh@sourcefire.com>

    * configure.in:
      Added --enable-64bit-gcc to set up the build environment for 64bit
      (tested only on Solaris9). Still are some memory alignment issues
      to work out before 64bit mode is fully functional, Patches are
      welcomed. Thanks Chris Baker for doing 64bit testing.

    * src/sfutil/sfmemcap.c:
      Better support for 64bit Snort (mnorton).

    * src/snort.h:
      2.3.0 RC1

2004-11-04 Andrew Mullican <amullican@sourcefire.com>

    * src/output-plugins/spo_unified.c:
      Fixed reference times to match log time for first packet, for an event
      generated by a reassembled packet.  Incremented event ID to give 
      unique ID for each packet.  Also made unified logging compatible with 
      Windows.

2004-11-02 Jeremy Hewlett <jh@sourcefire.com>

    * configure.in:
      Changed linking order of libmysqlclient.

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_rpc_check.c:
    * src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c:
    * src/sfutil/acsmx2.c:
      Fixes for compilation on 64-bit Solaris.  Snort 2_3 branch compiles
      cleanly (jhewlett, mnorton). Should be a few more changes coming
      shortly.

    * src/plugbase.c:
      Compilation fix for AIX. Thanks Markus Waldeck.

    * src/preprocessors/spp_perfmonitor.c:
    * src/preprocessors/perf-base.c:
    * src/preprocessors/perf-base.h:
    * src/preprocessors/perf.c:

      reset. (mnorton). Thanks Barry Basselgia for pointing out the
      issue.  Thanks Scott Dexter and Andreas Ostling for doing some
      initial testing.

2004-10-21 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/preprocessors/HttpInspect/client/hi_client.c:
      Don't include the version string length as part of the
      directory length.  Caused some false positives if the oversize
      directory length was set to small numbers.  Thanks Jeremy
      Hewlett for catching this one.

    * src/preprocessors/HttpInspect/session_inspection/hi_si.c:
    * src/preprocessors/snort_httpinspect.c:
      Fix false positives that were occurring on some events.  Thanks
      to Vjay Larosa for the report.

    * src/preprocessors/perf-base.c:
    * src/preprocessors/sfprocpidstats.c:
      Fix linux perfmonitoring stats for the 2.6 kernel.  Thanks to 
      everyone that reported this bug. 

    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
    * src/preprocessors/stream.h:
      Add an enforce_state keyword to stream4 so we won't pick up midstream
      sessions.  This works well for asynchronous links and also for
      just monitoring legitimate traffic.  

2004-10-13 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/detect.c:
      Fix suppression/thresholding bug for non-rule alerts.  Thanks to
      Alex Butcher for reporting it to us.

2004-10-05 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/parser.c:
      Fix bug in preprocessor error statement that referenced freed
      memory.  Thanks to Dennis George for submitting fix.

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_pattern_match.c:
      Fix content option modifiers so that they check the option specified
      and not offset.  Thanks to Petr Kurtin for pointing out this bug.

2004-10-04 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/decode.c:
      Fix TCP/IP options print bug that was found by Marcin Zgorecki.  

    * src/plugbase.c:
      Move portscan initialization into preprocessors, not plugins.

    * preprocessors/portscan.c:
      Inspect invalid TCP initiators that stream4 doesn't track for portscans.
      Log open ports on TCP portsweeps when we can.  Thanks to #snort and
      SGUIL guys for their comments and feedback.  Also, thanks to David
      Lowless for his portscan testing in the UK.

2004-09-20 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/util.c:
      Fix ts_print to work correctly for localtime logging.

    * src/fpdetect.c:
      Thresholded drop/sdrop rules should still drop the packet, but we
      just won't alert on them.  Thanks to Brian Starrfield for finding
      this bug.

2004-09-17 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/detect.c:
      Fix tagging issue that would tag rebuilt TCP streams, which for most
      output plugins this means we just relog the packets that we've 
      already logged.  Thanks Jeremy Hewlett and Daniel Cid for finding
      this bug.

    * src/event_queue.c:
    * src/event_queue.h:
      Only flush a TCP stream on rule alerts and not on preprocessor alerts.
      Thanks Jeremy Hewlett and Daniel Cid for finding this bug.

2004-09-08 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/decode.c:
      Drop bad checksums if we're in inline mode and we're doing checksums.
      Thanks to William Metcalf and Victor Julien for this patch.

    * doc/CREDITS:
      Updated CREDITS with some major SourceFire contributors that were
      not mentioned.

2004-09-07 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/inline.c:
    * src/inline.h:
    * src/parser.c:
    * src/snort.c:
    * src/snort.h:
      Make reject rule type work with linux bridging.  Added config option
      'layer2resets', which by default uses the interface specified by
      the ipq packet.  In addition, you can also specify a src mac address
      so the sensor interface information is not apparent.  Thanks to 
      William Metcalf and Victor Julien for this feature.

2004-09-02 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/detect.c:
    * src/fpdetect.c:
    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
      Add inline state configuration for stream4, so we will drop packets that
      are not part of an existing TCP session and are not valid TCP
      initiators.  Thanks Will Metcalf and Victor Julien for the initial
      implementation.  Add functionality for drop/sdrop rules that will still
      drop a packet if the rule specifies "flow: established".  We silently
      drop the packet, so as not to be DOS'd by stick/snot attacks.  If the
      user wants the alerts, then add in the stream4 configuration of
      'midstream_drop_alerts'.

    * src/rules.h:
    * src/detection_plugins/sp_clientserver.c:
      Add not_established keyword to the flow detection option.  This allows
      snort to do dynamic firewall rulesets.  Experimental for now, so if
      any wants to try let me know.

    * src/preprocessors/snort_httpinspect.c:
      Fix conditions where snort would log double web alerts that contained
      only content options (no uricontents).  Thanks to kawa for finding and
      reporting this bug.

2004-08-31 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/fpdetect.c:
      If InlineMode() is set, than the flow: established check will also
      look to see if the TCP stream was picked up in midstream.  If it was,
      then we assume it's established.  This also blocks packets that are
      generated by stick/snot type attacks, whereas before these packets
      were just being passed through because flow: established was not valid.

2004-08-27 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/sfutil/sfmemcap.c:
      Fix 64-bit bug found and tested by Ryan Matteson (matty91@bellsouth.net)
      and Clay McClure (clay@daemons.net).  Thanks guys.

    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
    * src/preprocessors/snort_httpinspect.c:
      When we pick up TCP sessions in midstream, don't use stream4 direction
      to tell us how to inspect client and server traffic.  Performance
      enhancement for some sites.

    * src/preprocessors/portscan.c:
      Add more comments and make portscan detail printouts more readable.

2004-08-20 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/util.c:
      Make ts_print work correctly with timezones.  Thanks to Dagobert
      Kellner for the fix.

2004-08-19 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/util.c:
      Log an error when the user tries to setuid/gid and snort is being
      run in inline.  Thanks Matt Brannigan for finding this bug.

2004-08-13 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_pattern_match.c:
      Ignore replace rule options when snort isn't in GIDS mode. (Roelker)

    * src/decode.h:
    * src/detect.h:
      Set a packet_flag for drop alerts.  This lets the output plugins
      know that we just dropped the packet that we logged.  (Roelker)

2004-08-11 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/inline.c:
    * src/spo_unified.c:
      Make inline alerts work with unified output.  Thanks for the help
      in unified format Andrew Baker.

    * src/util.c:
      Added ASCII pig (thanks Dug Song) and snort team to snort initialization 
      printout.

    * src/output-plugins/spo_log_tcpdump.c:
      Check to make sure we have a pointer before we reference a structure
      element.

2004-08-05 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/log.c:

    * src/detect.c:
    * src/fpdetect.c:
      Get thresholding/suppression to work for alerts that do not
      contain an iph header (primarily decode alerts).  Thanks
      Brian Caswell.

2004-08-04 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/snort.c:
      Fix inline printf's during initialize.  Also fix return code on
      invalid input for startup.  This helps scripts so it returns
      an error if the command line arguments in the script are wrong.
      Thank you Matt Brannigan for this fix.

2004-07-28 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * configure.in:
      Added --include-pcre* configuration option to help cross compiling.
      Thanks Erik de Castro Lopo.

    * src/event_queue.c:
      Fix bug in multi-event logging when thresholding/suppression was enabled
      for events in the queue.  Thanks once again to Andreas Ostling.

    * src/output-plugins/spo_log_tcpdump.c:
      When a rebuilt stream causes an alert, log out the original packets
      instead of the rebuilt packet.  Thanks Marty Roesch.

    * src/preprocessors/HttpInspect/user_interface/hi_ui_config.c:
      Turn off some alerts in the profile that were causing false positives.

    * src/preprocessors/HttpInspect/normalization/hi_norm.c:
      Turn off encoding alerts in HTTP parameter field.  The parameter field
      is still normalized, it just doesn't alert.  This helps reduce alerts
      that are generated from complex parameter queries.

      Added new portscan detector.  We now detect tcp, udp, icmp, and
      ip protocol scans.  Along with the following scan types (using
      nmap terminology): portscan, decoy portscan, portsweep, and
      distributed portscan.  The initial version will have three sensitivity
      levels, so if you want to change values manually go to portscan.c and
      change the values there.  I don't want to confuse people out of the
      gate with lots of value configurations, so try these preset levels
      and give us feedback.  (Daniel Roelker)

      usage. (Roelker)

    * src/parser.c:
      Added parsing check from Andreas Ostling so that users don't
      assume that destination port lists are allowed because no
      error is given.

    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
      Fixed rebuilt TCP packet munging reported by Steve Halligan.

    * src/event_queue.c:
    * src/log.c:
    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
    * src/sfutil/sfeventq.c:
      Improve TCP reassembly flushing for TCP streams that have already
      generated an alert.  This was illustrated by Brian Bailey in his
      SANS GIAC practical examination.  Thanks for working with us on
      this one.

2004-05-06 Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_pattern_match.c:
      Fixed rule read up error when parsing hexmode content options.
      Thanks for pointing it out Marty.  (Roelker)

    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
      Fixed null pointer dereference when detect_scans were enabled and
      creating a new session that had funky flags.  Thanks to Chad
      Kreimendahl for reporting the bug and testing the fix.  (Roelker)

    * src/tag.c:
      Revert to old tagging behavior.  Will add new functionality in a future 
      version.

       - if stream4 is enabled, only decode if if is client data
         on an established session
    * src/preprocessors/spp_telnet_negotiation.c
       - don't bother decodeing the packet if its 0 bytes

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_byte_jump.c
       actually verify that it needs aligning before aligning.  
       (more than 0 doesn't need aligned)

2003-02-15  bmc <bmc@snort.org>
    * src/detection-plugins/sp_byte_jump.c
       0 is already aligned to a 32-bit boundry...

2003-02-14  bmc <bmc@snort.org>
    * src/mstring.c
       Fix so --enable-debug actually compiles

2003-02-14  mfr <roesch@sourcefire.com>
    * src/parser.c
        Fixed XferHeader() function to copy the not_*p_flag to the RTNs...

    * src/detection-plugins/sp_ip_proto.c    
        ip_proto options can now be stacked

      src/detection-plugins/sp_byte_jump.c
      src/detection-plugins/sp_pattern_match.c
        Fixed distance/within/byte_test/byte_jump relative (stateful) 
        pattern matching and the like.  Complete reimplementation of
        payload position tracking.  Tested with several different attack
        scenarios with 100% detection rate, please test!

2003-02-04  Chris Reid  <chris.reid@codecraftconsultants.com>

    * src/snort.c
        Added sanity checks on command-line parameters, for whenever a user
        forgets to put spaces between (ie.) /SERVICE/INSTALL.  This only
        applies to /SERVICE parameter for Win32.

    * src/util.c
      - Updated Win32 banner for version 2.0
      - Modified FatalError to generate a Win32 EventLog entry
        if this is a Win32 Service build, otherwise no errors
        are ever presented to the user.

    * src/mwm.c
      - Added an include of config.h, for Windows build.
      - Changed variable names "small" and "large" into "small_value"
        and "large_value" to prevent compile errors under Visual C++.

    * src/mpse.c
    * src/pcrm.c
      - Added an include of config.h, for Windows build.

    * src/parser/IpAddrSet.c
    * src/preprocessors/perf-flow.c
      - Added ifndef/endif around non-Win32 header files.

    * src/preprocessors/perf-base.c
      - Added changes to allow it to compile under Win32.

    * src/preprocessors/perf.h
      - Prevent definition of UINT64 under Win32.

    * src/preprocessors/spp_asn1.c
    * src/preprocessors/spp_bo.c
    * src/preprocessors/spp_fnord.c
      - Added documentation.

    * src/win32/WIN32-Includes/config.h
      - Added definition for UINT64 and uint64
      - Changed VERSION to '2.0.0beta'

    * src/win32/WIN32-Code/win32_service.c
      - Changed how Win32 registry is opened for reading (was KEY_ALL_ACCESS,
        now is KEY_READ).  Problem (and patch) was reported by Michael Miller.

    * src/win32/WIN32-Prj/snort.dsp
      - Removed all references to SFStats compile options, since these stats
        provide little useful information under Win32 due to API differences
        between Win32 and Unix, specifically the lack of a native getrusage().

    * src/win32/WIN32-Prj/snort.ncb
      src/win32/WIN32-Prj/snort.opt
      src/win32/WIN32-Prj/snort.plg
      - Truncated the contents of these files.

2003-01-26  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c
	 (AlertFlushStream):
   	  - Fixed problem where an alert on a stream
	    would update sequence numbers incorrenctly	
	  - moved StoreStreamPkt up to avoid crash

	   Thanks to Lawrence Reed for pointing out problems and almost
	   perfect solutions

	* src/detection-plugins/sp_clientserver.c (CheckForReassembled):
	   missing return in opt node check
	   affects only flow: only_stream

2002-1-17  Daniel Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>
    * src/preprocessors/spp_perfmonitor.c:
        Added 'snortfile' parameter to perfmonitor so users can use the
        default snort directory to log performance statistics.  Suggested
        by L. Reed.

    * src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
        Fixed performance statistic counter for total stream4 sessions.  When
        a new session is created, we make sure that it was created before
        incrementing the counter.  Fixed by L. Reed.

2003-01-07  mfr <roesch@sourcefire.com>
    * configure.in
        Added patch from Jeff Nathan to fix libnet detection

2003-01-05  mfr <roesch@sourcefire.com>
    * src/util.h
        Added self preservation control struct for the new SPAlloc function.

    * src/util.c
        Added self preservation-aware memory allocator, this allows coders
        to add new subsystems requiring self preservation techniques using
        a single allocation interface and management mechanism.

    * src/detection-plugins
        Changed the URI and AND checking modules to use the context pointer
        on the fp_list struct instead of the ds_list.  This will cause
        all content/uricontent checks to be checked in the sequence that
        they appear in a rule so that all the distance/within and 
        relative byte_test/byte_jump stuff will work properly.  Merry Xmas
        cazz!

    * src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c
        Changed frag2 to use the new SPAlloc mechanism as a testing
        platform.  If this works right I'll convert all the other stuff
        over to it as well.

2002-12-13  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c (Frag2Defrag):
	   - added "state_protection" config mechanism to enable/disable
	     the thresholding operations	

	* src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
	   - mark sessions that have been picked up midstream
           - protect against people setting up snort behind a tap without
	     setting asynchronous link
	   - added "state_protection" config mechanism to enable/disable
	     the thresholding operations

	* src/decode.h (SSNFLAG_MIDSTREAM): added a midstream pickup flag

2002-12-12  Daniel J. Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>

    * src/fpcreate.c:
    * src/fpdetect.c:
        Fixed bi-directional rule functionality when unique port was the
        destination port in a bi-directional rule.  Reported by Brian
        Caswell.

2002-11-26  Andrew R. Baker <andrewb@sourcefire.com>

    * src/checksum.h:  
        Problem with ICMP checksum.  Routine did not return the compliment
        of the checksum.  Thanks to Del Armstrong for point this out.

    * src/decode.c:
        Also, UDP checksums are only done if the checksum is 0.  Otherwise,
        we don't do them, even if the config is set for that.  Again,
        thanks to Del Armstrong for pointing this out.

           	added Emergency / Suspend mode

	* src/generators.h: added Emergency / Suspend alerts to

	   stream4/frag2 - in the future, these should not generate packet
	   log alerts but they are required to for the current view of the
	   world

	* src/detect.h (DisableDetect): added function
	

2002-11-16  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

2002-11-06  Daniel J. Roelker <droelker@sourcefire.com>
    * src/mwm.c:
    * src/mwm.h:
        Fixed another bug in mwm search routines when dealing with identical
        one byte patterns in multiple rules.  There was a theoretical 
        possibility of overwriting a one byte rule group (example: "~") with
        another rule group of ("|00 7e|").  This has now been fixed and 
        should be the last of the one byte pattern problems.

    * src/plugbase.c:
    * src/detection_plugins/sp_byte_jump.c:
    * src/detection_plugins/sp_byte_jump.h:
      Added byte_jump, we can now decode a length from the app layer and jump
      the detect_offset_end (last match pointer) up that number of bytes, 
      great for decoding RPC with Snort rules

2002-11-04  mfr <roesch@sourcefire.com>
    * src/detect.c:
    * src/fpdetect.c:
      fixed case where multiple rules can have partial matches on content and

    * src/preprocessors/spp_http_decode.c:
        Fixed potential off-by-one bugs.  Also fixed %25xx encoding and
        %uxxxx encoding for ascii characters.  Still much work to be done

	   p->preprocessors for enable/disable status
	
	* src/fpcreate.c, src/fpcreate.h, src/fpdetect.c, src/fpdetect.h:
	  Added new detection engine.  fpcreate.* creates the new detection
	  engine and intializes the detection engine components.  fpdetect.*
	  analyzes packets as they come in and decides what happens to them.
	
	* src/pcrm.c, src/pcrm.h:
	  Added new signature detection classification.
	
	* src/mpse.c, src/mpse.h (Norton):
	  Added an interface for multi-pattern match routines.

	  Added Aho-Corasick state machine, using a deterministic finite
	  automata.
	
	* src/bitop.h:
	  Added inline functionality for bit operations.  Used in the new
	  detection engine.
	
	* src/preprocessors/spp_httpflow.*, src/preprocessors/http-resp.*:
	   Added an http protocol flow preprocessor that analyzes client
	   and server traffic.  Useful for HTTP performance.

	* src/preprocessors/spp_perfmonitor.*, src/preprocessors/perf*.*:

	  user to configure certain aspects of the detection engine.
 	
	* src/checksum.h:
	  Added new optimized inline checksumming routines.
	
	* src/mstring.c:
	  Optimized mSearch and mSearchCI.
	
		
2002-10-09  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/snort.c (ParseCmdLine):

	     (Andrea Barisani)
	* updated snort.dsp to not require getrusage
	
2002-10-01  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/preprocessors/spp_http_decode.c:
           moved setting the uri_count to this preprocessor to handle false
    	   alerts on reassembled packets.


2002-09-17  Roman Danyliw <roman@danyliw.com>
	* src/output-plugin/spo_database.c
         - make sure that a packet payload larger than those supported
           in the SQL INSERT are properly terminated.

2002-09-12  Roman Danyliw <roman@danyliw.com>

	* src/output-plugin/spo_database.c
         - made the updating of the sensor.last_cid more efficient by
           only storing the new cid value at shutdown
         - removed extranous CR/LF from sensor name

2002-09-05  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/log.c (PrintICMPHeader): off by one error in printing
          Thanks to Dave Goldsmith

2002-09-05  Roman Danyliw <roman@danyliw.com>

       * src/output-plugin/spo_database.c: (DatabaseInit)
         - added ignore_bpf configuration option (from Michael Boman)

         ignore_bpf - Do we want to create a new sensor definition everytime
                the BPF filter is changed? The options are:

                [no|0]: (default) Create a new sensor definition if BPF
                        filter has been modified

                [yes|1]: Ignore the BPF part when looking for the server
                         definition

2002-09-03  Roman Danyliw <roman@danyliw.com>

       * src/output-plugin/spo_database.c

         - DB schema v106
         - Added the sensor.last_cid field to the schema so the
           database can store the last used cid for a given sensor.
           This field will ensure that a cid will never be reused.

           Upgrading from v105 -> v106 is as simple as:

           mysql> ALTER TABLE sensor ADD last_cid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL;
           mysql> UPDATE schema SET vseq=106;

            psql> ALTER TABLE sensor ADD last_cid INT8;
            psql> UPDATE schema SET vseq=106;
          
         - Improved error messages

  	  - removed stream_pkt->packet_flag sets new ( makes
	    no sense because we overwrite the packet_flags in BuildPacket

	          Session data outside of spp_stream4
          - added SSNFLAG_HTTP_1_1, SSNFLAG_SEEN_PMATCH
	  - moved Session,Stream to decode.h
	
	   (ReassembleStream4):
	     session_flags converted to & check instead of == for establishment

	* src/decode.h
	  - added HTTP version constants

2002-05-08  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	- strcasecmp instead of strncasecmp

	* src/preprocessors/spp_http_decode.c:
	  integrated spp_http_decode.c from rfp
	  new option set:
	    * unicode:  decode unicode
	    * iis_alt_unicode: %u000 encoding
	    * double_encode  : detect IIS decoding
	    * abort_invalid_hex: detect only up
	                         until the first broken encoding
	    * drop_url_parm: don't decode the stuff following ?
	    * iis_flip_slash: substitute / for \ ( C:\DOS\RUN )

2002-05-01  Andrew R. Baker <andrewb@sourcefire.com>
    * src/plugbase.c:
    * src/output-plugins/spo_unified.c:
        cleaned up startup message printing

2002-04-25  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* Introduced IP_VER, IP_HLEN, SET_IP_VER, SET_IP_HLEN after
	thinking about tcpdump and what Fyodor had talked to me about
	months ago regarding cross platform compatiblity.  No more
	twiddling.

	Plugins that use ip_ver, ip_hlen should be tested.  No more bit
	packed notation allowed in the source tree.

	* src/preprocessors/spp_stream4.c:
	   separated evasion alerts from retransmission/state

	   evasion alerts default to being on now

	   disable with disable_evasion_alerts

2002-04-24  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c (Frag2Init):
	  fixex argument parsing

	* src/preprocessors/spp_http_decode.c:
	  don't process fragments

	* src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c
	(InsertFrag):
	  make sure that we don't run out of memory if someone sends us the
      	  same fragment over and over again

	  duplicate first frag is a special case

2002-04-23  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c
	  (InsertFrag):
	- adding detection of attack where we would start
	  reassembling packet fully before the full fragtracker is there

	* src/detect.c (EvalPacket):
	  - fixed alert ip rules
	     (got clobbered when playing detection engine optimizations )

	  - generate proper events when decode errors happen

	* src/plugbase.c (InitPlugIns): SetupFragOffset()

	* src/detection-plugins/sp_ip_fragbits.c:
	  - added fragoffset:

	    fragoffset: [!<>] <integer>

	    defined in fragbits so that I can backport it.

	* src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c (InsertFrag):
	-  alert on frag2 overlaps

	    To do this requires keeping the packets around for a while
	    longer to detect all the multiple fragments and overlaps

	    Changed the PruneCache to notice when things are completed and
	    prune them in addition to just by time. Frag mem faults are
	    going to increase because of this but each time one occurs,
	    there should be plenty to expire.
	

2002-04-22  Chris Green  <cmg@sourcefire.com>

	* src/preprocessors/spp_frag2.c
	  (Frag2Defrag):
	    Warn/Discard on fragments with IP Options set.

 	(TraverseFunc):
 	  - added next seq check on reassembly
 	  - added alerts on retransmitted sequences...
 	              its ugly as sin right now
        (_Stream):
 	  - next_seq added
 
 	(StoreStreamPkt):
 	  - added check for restranmitting too fast w/ a different data size
 	  - added tcp checksum retransmission checking
 	    (how much do I need to worry about
 	     data with the same checksum and different payloads...
 	     just throw it away for the moment)

	* detection engine now walks RTN and OTN lists iteratively instead of
                    recursively, I guess we should cowtow to the x86 crowd...

	* RTNs are now sorted by destination port number allowing for earlier exit
	from the detection engine in the average case and improving performance

	* destination port is now the first thing checked when an RTN is processed
	(for UDP/TCP traffic)

    * Oracle support added to database output plugin
    * XML output plugin by Jed Pickel/Roman Danyliw/CERT
    * IP address list support added with lots of help from Phil Wood
    * <interface>_ADDRESS variable implementation, specifying an interface name
      in the rules file as part of this variable automatically sets the IP/mask

    * Rule parser is more anal about rule verification now, doesn't crash as 
      readily
    * Arbitrary output types support added by Andrew Baker

      ICMP Type/Code explicit value printout
    * -X switch dumps packet byte data for data link through application layer
    * -L switch to privde a filename for binary log files specified with the -b
      switch
    * Added -I switch to print interface name in Snort alerts (first i/f only)

      to the file as well (thanks Jed!)
    * Pid file will not be created if -D switch is not used.
    * chroot behaviour has been changed, now, if chroot is used, you have
      to have snort.conf file within chroot directory (and all the other
      relevant files as well). The only file which will be placed outside
      chroot directory is snort pid file.

1999-12-08  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * preprocessor plugins (major new functionality!)
    * detection plugins (major new functionality!)
    * variables can now be specified in the rules file
    * include files can now be specified in the rules file
    * Session recording capability
    * Rules may now contain multiple "content" match keywords
    * New IP options detection module, allows IP option inspection
    * New HTTP decoder preprocessor defeats evasive web scans (whisker.pl)
    * detection engine has been heavily modified to implement the new 
      "linked-list-of-function-pointers" concept, which makes the detection
      engine more efficient, more flexible, and faster!
    * TCP options decoder split into decode/log modules and recoded 
    * IP options decoder split into decode/log modules and recoded 
    * Token Ring layer 2 decoder (still in development)

    * binary log files now update properly (fflush added)
    * internal rules list integrity testing
    * IP fragments are no longer sent to the detection engine, just
      the preprocessor's.  This is incentive for me (or someone) to write
      an IP defragmentation preprocessor!
    * post-decode call function call sequence has been modified to go into 
      the preprocessor system instead of the detection engine

1999-10-18  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * snort.c: * added session dump command line switch

    * log.c: * added sesion data logging functionsi: OpenSessionFile(),
           DumpSessionData().
    
    * decode.c: * fixes snaplen issues with reading back tcpdump files.


1999-10-13  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * snort.c: * threw out tcpdump file readback code and implemented
             open_pcap_offline solution.  Has addded benefit of 
             allowing BPF filters to be used to modify file readback
             streams.  
           * Fixed MTU snafu.

    * decode.c: * Rewrote ARP decoder.  The decoder is much simpler (but 
              the log routines are far more complex)
            * Horsed around with the TCP and IP option decoders.  I 
              think they work better now...

    * log.c: * Added ARP printout and logging routines.  ARP is now 
           handled in a much more consistent and correct manner.
         * Fixed stupid crash bug in LogPkt()

    * rules.c: * Added in greater-than and less-than modifiers for dsize
             option keyword.  You now have another (cheap!) way to look
             for buffer overflows

           * Removed range checking for the ICMP icode and itype
             option keywords so that DoS attacks and covert activity 
             could be more easily filtered/monitored

1999-09-26  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * snort.c: * new command line options -A, -F, -N, -p, -b
           * logging and alerting functions are now selected and 
             assigned to function pointers for faster/more efficient
             logging
           * got rid of -f command line option (superceded by -b)
           * put in new cleanup code for readback mode
           * ripped read_infile from tcpdump to read BPF filter files
    
    * decode.c: * code cleanup in support of new functionality

    * rules.c: * added support for the exception operator to work for ports
           * fixed stupid pointer initialization bug in 
             ProcessHeadNode() file, fixed crashes on non-PC arch.
           * new option keywords: dsize, offset, depth
           * cleaned up crappy logic around the logging functions with
             nice clean function pointers (aaaahhhh....)
           * added bidirectional rules functionality (now Snort goes
             both ways....)

    * log.c: * broke out alerting function into seperate subfunctions
         * ditto logging functions
         * fixed string termination code in the SMB alerter so that it
           can now alert to more than one box at a time
         * cleaned up syslog messages
         * finally fixed the SMB "alert once" problem (kudos to Gandalf
           Schaufelberger for that one)

1999-08-06  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * log.c: * added code to AlertMsg to make sure that there was in fact
           an alert message to print out

    * libraries: * fixed the backdoor and scan libraries so they should 
               flase alarm less often

1999-08-05  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * snort.c: * activated CyberPsychotic's daemon mode code (use the 
             -D switch for daemon mode
           * default logging directory changed from "." to 
             /var/log/snort
                   * sanity checks performed on the default log dir now

    * decode.c: * changed the truncated Ethernet header notification to
              only go off in verbose mode
            * removed cruft

    * rules.c: * Added Ron Snyder's "address negation" patch.  Rules may
             now contain "!" on the IP addresses to indicate anything
             BUT the given address

    * log.c: * added support for the new default logging directory

    * configure.in: * fixed some more sparc configuration problems

    * other: * CyberPsychotic sent a new ftp buffer overflow rule in

1999-08-04  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * snort.c: * fixed some DEBUG statements
           * enabled the daemon mode code (this is still 
             experimental)
    * decode.c: * fixed various and sundry DEBUG code
            * fixed the TCP option decoder so it wouldn't overflow
              its prinout buffer and cleaned up the temp buffer
    * rules.c: * fixed some DEBUG code
           
    * log.c: * fixed a buffer copy problem with the daemon mode alert
           logging 
         * fixed the SMB alerting code and the standard log output 
           when in SMB alerting mode
         * cleaned up some of the fragment logging code
         * fixed the logto rules option coding to work properly
    * configure.in: * fixed a whole bunch of little problems that are
              screwing up big endian/non-PC machines.  This
              version should work and compile much more cleanly
               on all architectures!

    * other: fixed a bad rule in the RULES.SAMPLE file and another bad
         one in the misc-lib file

1999-08-01  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * rules.c: Wrote brand new detection engine.  The new engine uses
               a 2-dimensional linked list with recursive node walking.
               Rules are grouped by address/port commonality and then
               option chains are linked to common head blocks.  This
               reduces the number of tests required to find a specific
               test to perform, and reduces the total number of tests
               performed on a given packet in all cases by 200-500%
               over version 1.1.

    * decode.c: Rewrote the packet decode engine.  The new engine 
            performs far fewer copies and tries to set pointers
            to defer expensive function calls as late as possible.
            The PrintIP and Net data structures have been eliminated
            so that there is no global data required to perform tests
            or log a given packet.  This will make any future multi-
            threading efforts much easier. 

    * log.c: * Much of the logging system was rewritten to take advantage 
               of the new detection and decoding engines.
        
         * Made the SMB alerting a configure-time option.  If you 
           want to use the SMB alerting feature, you need to specify
           a "--enable-smbalerts" when you run configure.  This is a 
           safety measure, read the INSTALL file for the reasons why!

    * snort.c: Fixed a bug in the netmask generation code that wouldn't
           allow certain CIDR blocks to be represented.  Thanks to 
           Nick Rogness <nick@trinux.rapidnet.com> for the heads
           up on this one!

1999-06-21  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    
    * snort.c: * Added new command line switches: -f, -M, -r.  
               -f: Record fragmented packets in tcpdump format
               -M: Send alerts via WinPopup messages (requires Samba)
               -r: Read and process files generated by tcpdump 

           * Fixed startup dumpout code to not drop people if they just
             want to log all packets to the system

           * Added static netmask generation, this rids Snort of the
             need to link to libm, which makes it more Trinux friendly.

    * rules.c: * Added new rule option types:
              logto: log packets matching this rule to the specified
                             log file
              minfrag: set the minimum size of fragmented packets, which
                   allows alerts to be generated for traffic coming
                   from things like nmap or fragrouter
              tcp flags: Added the ability to include the reserved bits
                     of the tcp flags into the rules set.  These
                     flags are specified with a "1" and "2.  
                     Inclusion of these flags allows Queso 
                                 fingerprinting attempts to be detected.
              id: The IP ID field may be specified.  This is nice for 
              picking up handcrafted packets with recognizable ID
              fields, like 31337 or other "elite" numbers.
              ack: The TCP ack field.  Using this, nmap tcp "pings" may
               be detected.
              seq: The TCP sequence number.  This is provided for 
               completeness (I figured since I was putting in the 
               ack field, I may as well include the sequence as 
               well)
           * Rewrote the content parser.  It now accepts "\" as a 
             literal character, so things like "\|" or "\~" will work
             properly.

           * fixed the parenthesis finder for the options code

           * adjusted the acceptable character range in the rule
             parsers

    * log.c: * fragment logging more descriptive and correct

         * fixed IP header logging for ICMP and fragmented packets

         * improved "bad packet" printing/logging

         * fixed IP option output code

         * IP packet ID field now displayed

    * decode.c: * fixed IP fragment decoders and logic streams.

            * fragments are now fed thru the rules set (sorta)

1999-05-17  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * snort.c: Added "-x" command line switch to explicitly activate IPX
           packet notification so people in mixed protocol environments
                   can maintain sanity.  Also added in the new packet counter to
           generate statistics on exit of the number/percentage of 
           each type of packet that Snort sees.

    * decode.h: Removed the references to u_int16_t and u_int32_t and 
            replaced them with u_short and u_long.  The u_int*_t 
            variables caused portability headaches.  Also added in the 
            new patch from Chris S. for the  WORDS_MUSTALIGN definition
            for S/Linux version.

    * log.h: Fixed the LOG_AUTH/LOG_AUTHPRIV problem that Solaris users 
         were having.

    * decode.c: Added the new packet statistics counters throughout the 
            code.  Cleaned up the IPX code a bit.  

    * rules.c: Cleaned up the isspace(3) (et al) calls.

    * etc: Made lots of tweaks to the autoconf stuff to get the S/Linux
           and HP-UX versions to compile cleanly out of the box.

1999-04-28  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * rules.c: Added the code to change the order the rules are applied in.

    * snort.c: Added two new command line switches: "-o" and "-s".

    * decode.c: Added in new layer 2 decoding for SLIP and RAW packet 
                types.

        * log.c: Added code to send alert notification to syslog.

1999-04-17  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * rules.c: Rewrote the rules option parser.  It's now a much more
                   consistant interface for both reading rules into the program
                   and writing them as a user.  Added in new rule types to 
                   alert on TTL values, and ICMP types/codes.

    * log.c: Most of the logging code has been dramatically rewritten as 
                 well, and it now works much better. 

    * mstring.c: Added the notion of a meta character to mSplit() so that
                     it was possible to not split on every single occurence of
                     a character in a string.

    * decode.c: Smoothed out all the logging system calls to work nicely
                    with the new log code.

1999-04-08  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * rules.c: Moved AlertPkt() and LogPkt() to log.c

    * log.c: Totally revamped the logging code to be more logical and 
                 have less duplication in the code.  There are now seperate 
                 logging functions for each of the layers of the packet.  
                 PrintIPPkt() has been totally rewritten, PrintFragHeader has
                 been eliminated, and two functions have been moved over from
                 rules.c and completely rewritten as well.

    * decode.c: Reworked the routines which called the logging functions.

1999-04-06  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * decode.c: added code to display/log the Fragment ID field of the IP
                    header.  Got a nice patch from Sebastian to add in TOS 
                    decoding as well.  Added ethernet header logging and 
                    display code.

    * mstring.c: fixed the match() routine.  It had a tendency to miss some
                     things some of the time.  (oops!)  Content based matching
                     should work all the time now.

    * log.c: added code to display some of the new stuff that's decoded.

    * snort.c: add a new command line switch: "-e".  This will display the 
                   ethernet header data in both the log files and on the screen.

        * decode.c: fixed the damned TCP and IP options decoders.  These things
                    were a friggin pain in the ass to program up properly.
                    Recoding them stopped the huge loop that they had a bad
                    tendancy to get stuck in, thereby making the rest of the 
                    program nigh infinitely more useful for just about any
                    friggin problem under the friggin sun.  Frig it.

    * log.c: Stopped the insanity of unnessary carriage returns in the log
                 files and on screen printouts.  Another PITA.

        * rules.c: Fixed output formatting yet again.


1999-03-21  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * snort.c: fixed a bug in the timestamp code so the month prints out
                   right

    * decode.c: added code to detect and decode IP and TCP Options.  Also
                 added code to print packet fragments with truncated headers
                 into a PACKET_FRAG file which gets dumped in the default log
                 directory.

    * log.c: added code and data structures to print out IP and TCP Options
                 plus I fixed the f'd up fragment print out logic.  Changed
                 OpenLogFile() to include a mode argument for packet fragment
                 print out.

    * rules.c: rewired the entire rules test routine and added some long
                   needed goto's into the program.  I feel manly now.  Also
                   added a new rule field: TCP flags.  This allows us to 
                   alert/log/pass on tcp flags.  Also added in port range 
                   functionality, you can now specify a range of ports, or 
                   greater than/less than a specified port.
 

1999-03-08  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * snort.c: Ripped off the timestamp printout routines from tcpdump
           and stuffed them into snort.c, yum yum.  This gives us
           millisecond timestamping on the packets for those of you
           interested in such things.


1999-03-06  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * mstring.c: mContainsSubstring has been replaced.  mContainsSubstring 
             is a brute force pattern matcher, and is therefore very
             slow and not too efficient.  The new routine, match(), 
             implements a Boyer-Moore string search algorithm and is 
             much faster in the general case and much more tolerent of
             "poor" pattern selection.

    * log.c: PrintNetData has been completely rewritten.  It should now be
                 much faster and only needs to generate the print out buffer
                 once per packet.  This routine was a major source of slow 
                 down/dropped packets before.  You still shouldn't use verbose 
                 mode with the "-d" command line switch if you're using Snort 
                 as an IDS, because it's still slow enough to drop some large
                 packets.  Packet print out has changed as well, with the 
                 different packet layers seperated by onto their own lines
                 (well, mostly).  Fragmented packets are now recorded in a 
                 "FRAG" file.

    * decode.c: Snort now detects fragmented packets, plus the DF and MF 
                    bits, and decodes the fragment offset.  
     
    * snort.c: Now displays packet collected/dropped statistics when 
                   shutting down.


1999-02-18  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

    * snort.c: Code cleanup and some error checking was added.  The system
           now accepts the interface name you give it at the command
           line.  Fixed a problem with underallocating the interface
           name buffer for names specified on the command line.  
           Suprisingly, this only came to light when tested on the 
             Sparc architecture.

    * log.c: ICMP logging now includes the ICMP code description in the 
         filename.  This makes it easier to see what you're interested
         in without having to go digging into the log files.

    * decode.c: Made the ICMP types and codes a little more compatible with
            being used as a filename.


1999-01-28  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

        * rules.c: Rules sorting is now implemented.  There are actually three
                   seperate lists (Pass, Log, Alert) now, with the rules being
                   placed on to the lists in the order they're read from the 
                   rules file.  The rule execution order was changed, now
                   Alert rules are applied first, then Pass Rules, the Log 
                   rules.  Content based rules are available now, the actual
                   application layer data can be searched, both binary and 
                   text, for a specific pattern to activate a rule on.

        * decode.c: Minor changes to reflect the new rules structure.


1999-01-19  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

        * snort.c: Modularized the code, big time!  New source modules are log,
                   rules, decode, and mstring.  Dumped SetFlow() for now.

        * rules.c: Rules based packet logging now enabled!

        * log.c: Now keeps track of TCP/UDP conversations better!

        * decode.c: Enhanced decoding of packets, including ICMP ECHO seq and
                    id!
 

1999-01-08  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>

        * snort.c: Made a fix to SetFlow() so that it wouldn't dump the
                   program if it got traffic from 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255.

        * snort.h: Removed the "#define VERSION" since it's handled in config.h.

        * README: Proper README file included with this distro


1998-12-21  mfr  <roesch@clark.net>
    * snort.c: Made this file, figured out autoconf
