Still remember when first heard Aho-Corasick from the Snort IDS mailing list circa 2002. This paper described the optimization of Snort detection engine based on Aho-Corasick in the later version of Snort [1]. Not sure though which algorithm that the latest Snort 3 IDS is using for its detection engine [2].
