This updates the Suricata binary to version 4.0.0 to match the latest upstream version.
New Features
A new configurable parameter has been added to the alert-pf plugin used to insert offending IP addresses into the "snort2c" table in the packet filter of pfSense. The new parameter is named "block-drops-only" and can be set to 'yes' or 'no' (with 'no' being the default when no setting is specified). When set to 'yes', this new setting causes the plugin to only insert offending IP addresses into the "snort2c" table when the firing rule signature has a rule action of DROP. Rules with action ALERT will only cause alerts with no blocks if this new option is set to 'yes'.
The alert-pf plugin's suricata.yaml configuration settings are shown below
