Hi everyone. According to Arm Research's latest data, the Short-Match FP problem has subsided - most likely due to rule sequestration. They have not seen any significant events in their detection software since 9pm EST last evening.
In the meantime, they have updated the SNF software to check for short-match events and treat them as rule-panic events. This renders them inert so that if this kind of rulebase corruption occurs again the SNF engine will be immune. Please update your SNF software to this latest version using the links below. NOTE: The Windows installer is in the process of being redesigned and does not have the latest software. This will take some time. If you are using SNF on Windows and use(d) the installer then use this procedure to update your software: * Stop your SNF service (usually XYNT Service based). * Copy your SNFServer.exe file to SNFServer.old * Download SNFServer-windows-7-prox32-3.1.0.exe (32 bit) or SNFServer-windows-7-prox64-3.1.0.exe (64 bit) and rename it to SNFServer.exe to replace your previous SNFServer.exe. * Start your SNF service. If you were using the 32 bit version (very likely) then replace it with the 32 bit version. There really isn't any difference, but just in case it's simpler to keep things the same. There is no benefit to running the 64 bit version -- It is not faster and is in fact less efficient due to the use of extra-large (64 bit) pointers that aren't necessary ;-) Some folks really want a 64 bit version, so we have one. Here are some links to updated versions: http://www.armresearch.com/message-sniffer/download/updates/SNFServer-window s-7-prox32-3.1.0.exe http://www.armresearch.com/message-sniffer/download/updates/SNFServer-window s-7-prox64-3.1.0.exe http://www.armresearch.com/message-sniffer/download/updates/snf-server-3.1.0 .tar.gz http://www.armresearch.com/message-sniffer/download/updates/snf-milter-1.1.1 .tar.gz http://www.armresearch.com/message-sniffer/download/updates/SNFMultiSDK_Wind ows_3.2.zip And for the really adventurous: http://www.armresearch.com/message-sniffer/download/packages/ In the packages link you will find all of the latest snapshots and some old ones from Arm's LabRats. The LabRats compile and test SNF for all of the different platforms. You will find RPM and DEB packages as well as tarballs and even the windows stuff that's posted in the updates links above. Be sure to pick the latest version in all cases. It will take a bit of time before all of the ordinary links on Arm's web site are updated with the latest software, so please use the above links instead if you're going to update right now. Thanks!
