Dear all
this is to announce the new PF_RING 5.2 release. We have fixes many bugs in this \
release, as well added compatibility with Linux kernel 3.x. Nevertheless the main \
innovation of this release is the support of various types of hardware filters in \
PF_RING. Transparently. This means that you write your application once, and based on \
the NIC/driver you own, PF_RING sets the filter in software and (if available) in \
hardware. 

This is very important in particular in snort. In fact thanks to PF_RING DAQ, \
whenever snort detects an attack, bad packets, etc. it transparently sets a filter. \
With 5.2 if you have a proper NIC, such filter is set in hardware, so you can say bye \
bye to DDoS attacks.

More info can be found here \

Have fun, Luca and Alfredo
