Over the last couple of weeks I have been following all of the Snort-Suricata, Roesch-Jonkmann back and forth. If you are
not familiar with the particulars of this latest incident you can read about them in Ellen Messmer's article and my fellow open source subnet blogger, Ben Whaley's column. I know both Marty and Matt pretty well and have been involved in the open source IDS world for years. This recent flare
up has actually been brewing and is a long time coming. I am going to give you my own historical insight and analysis to the
real story behind this story.
Also Mitchell Ashley and I were building StillSecure at the time. Below is Mitchell and I discussing this. A great 20 minutes of open IDS history:
