Hi everyone,

If you didn't receive an invitation by email or haven't registered yet, the next installment of the Snort Users Webinar Series is coming up. Based on popular demand, Matt Olney of the VRT will be discussing the VRT’s detection methodology and creating effective Snort Rules. We expect that the rules writing will take more than one session, so we’ll be calling this Part I.

Here are the details:

Date: June 4, 2008
Time: 10:00 AM US Eastern Daylight Time (GMT -4:00)

We hope you can join us.

Mike
