well it wouldnt be good to name those anyway as you dont know how many
snort 0-days exist and the next time something goes public could mean that those
networks are targeted first. afterall its up to you, i just thought i give you guys this hint.
its never a good idea to make such information public, thats why many people
fake their daemon versions, or dont show them at all.
