Sourcefire, which develops the open source Snort tool, today officially announced that later this year it will deliver a commercial, Snort-based virtual appliance, and that it is working with Intel on the next-generation open-source Snort engine. The company today also began offering a new release candidate of Snort, 2.8.5 and new features for version 2.8.4. Snort has gradually been moving away from being just an IDS/IPS.
