Snort 2.0 release

For users who are currently providing event data to DeepSight Analyzer via
Snort, if you have not already done so, you will want to upgrade your Snort
installation to version 2.0 to fix a serious new security problem.

The current version of DeepSight Extractor 4.05 will already support the
Snort 2.0 logging format, as it has not changed from previous versions.

The latest version of Snort can be obtained from:
