| ## 20200623_M [Server 3.2.2, Engine 3.2.2] | |||||
| - Removed saccades algorithm to provide more comprehensive scanning. This will allow SNF to | |||||
| operate as a feature extractor for machine learning algorithms by matching "above-band" rules | |||||
| that do not compete with normal "in-band" rules. | |||||
| The growing use of above-band rule groups like "Experimental Bulk/Noisy" and additional groups | |||||
| for machine learning feature extraction has changed the paradigm for heuristic competition in | |||||
| the SNF world. Where previously it was important to optimize scanning performance for low-powered | |||||
| hardware and heuristic competition could add pressure to select for more efficient rules; the | |||||
| new paradigm requires that any available patterns will match (at least once) and hardware | |||||
| constraints are no longer a serious concernt. For example, SNF is easily able to operate at | |||||
| scanning rates that are 3 orders of magnitude higher than most deployments require on modern | |||||
| equipment. | |||||
| This isn't to say that heuristic efficiency optimization will be going away -- but rather that | |||||
| the mechanisms for optimizing that efficiecncy can be moved more toward the back-end so that | |||||
| the front-end scanners can concentrate on making all available matches available for analysis | |||||
| and even more sophisticated learning algorithms. | |||||
| Saccades was fun, and effective, but it's time has passed. | |||||
