Hello list,
suricata development goes on, so I'm happy to announce the first release candidate on this list.
The biggest difference to any previous versions is, this time an update tarball for any IPFire installations is available. So anybody now easily can download and install it on an existing system without doing a fresh installation.
The tarball (currently only x86_64) can be grabbed from here:
https://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/suricata/
To start testing download the tarball and place it on your IPFire system. Extract the tarball and launch the install (install.sh) script.
During installation snort will be stopped (if running), new files will be placed on the system, your taken snort settings will be converted to get used by suricata and finally suricata will be started (if snort was used before) to start protecting the configured networks.
If you prefer a fresh installation, the latest image can be grabbed from here:
https://nightly.ipfire.org/next-suricata/latest/x86_64/
Direct link for downloading the ISO image:

Thanks for downloading and testing. There are no known bugs so far, as usual please file any bugs to our bugtracker ( https://bugzilla.ipfire.org) and share your feedback on the list.
Best regards,
-Stefan
