Hello list followers,

some time ago development for the new implementation of the Intrusion
Detection functionality in IPFire has been started.

The main goal, in a nutshell, was to give IPFire a modern, feature-rich 
and user-friendly Intrusion Detection Engine. During this progress, the
detection framework has been replaced - now suricata is used instead of
snort.

Suricata uses a very modern and multi-threaded detection engine with
support to perform actions on malicious traffic. So it provides the
functionality of detecting any kind of intrusion attempts and the
ability of guardian to block them under the same hood.

It was a lot of work, but finaly I'm happy to announce the first test
version. It is almost feature complete and without any kind of bigger
issues.

Because Intrusion Detection is a key feature of a firewall system, a
lot of testing is required until the new implementation can become part
of IPFire - therefore we need your help!

Download the test image (
https://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/suricata/Images/), do a lot of hard
testing and provide your feedback or suggestions on the develoment
mailing list (https://lists.ipfire.org/mailman/listinfo/development).

If you find any bugs please file them in the IPFire Bugtracker (
https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/).

Many thanks in advance,

-Stefan
