G -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Luca Deri Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 11:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] ANNOUNCE: PF_RING 5.2 Dear all this is to announce the new PF_RING 5.2 release. We have fixes many bugs in this release, as well added compatibility with Linux kernel 3.x. Nevertheless the main innovation of this release is the support of various types of hardware filters in PF_RING. Transparently. This means that you write your application once, and based on the NIC/driver you own, PF_RING sets the filter in software and (if available) in hardware. This is very important in particular in snort. In fact thanks to PF_RING DAQ, whenever snort detects an attack, bad packets, etc. it transparently sets a filter. With 5.2 if you have a proper NIC, such filter is set in hardware, so you can say bye bye to DDoS attacks.
