I will explain the latest and greatest features in Snort - as well as some older features I'm surprised aren't used more. I will discuss the new Open AppID standard for open source next generation firewall work like application identification and blocking, and show how easy it is to write a custom application detector. I will also go over how to perform file capture and analysis for more complicated malware analysis.

Adam Hogan is a Security Engineer with the Advanced Threat Solutions team at Cisco, who acquired him from Sourcefire. Adam has been working with Snort and Intrusion Prevention Systems since 2012, and is just obsessive enough to still enjoy it. His latest research is in malware trends over time and trying to use statistical models when ever possible to help justify what he spent on grad school. He enjoys slow cooked BBQ, fine Irish whiskey, and gummy worms.
