The Story of Snort
gRitteR writes "HNS is running a story of Martin Roesch, the creator of Snort where he tells the entire story of Snort in his words. Roesch covers seven years of development that made this tool one of the most important security software titles ever developed. It's interesting to get all the details on how Snort was initially conceived as well as how it is expected to develop further now after Check Point acquired Sourcefire. There are many technical details and interesting tidbits not available before."

On the off chance that the potential author of a "... For Dummies" or "Idiot's Guide To ..." book will see this, I just want to say that I refuse to purchase any book that forces me to place myself in one of those two categories. If I'm buying a book to learn about a subject, I am by definition neither a Dummy nor an Idiot. I may be ignorant about the subject, but I won't accept that I'm stupid because I need or want to buy a book to learn.
I doubt I'm alone. Oh, and for those who will say that I need to lighten up, trust me, I am very willing to poke fun at myself, and do so often. But I don't label myself a dummy or idiot (except when I am).
Blah.
