Here's my goofy hack for the same thing. You'll notice the restart at the end just does a killall which is because I use daemontools ( http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html ) - this is wrote so that local.rules and snort.conf live in /etc/snort, with everything else living in /etc/snort/rules - this way you can keep your localized additions without having the update overwrite them. #!/usr/local/bin/bash cd /etc/snort echo "" echo "Beginning Snort ruleset update..." echo "" echo "Backing up current ruleset and deleting previous backup..." rm -f snortrules.* rm -frv rules.bak/* cp -v rules/* rules.bak/ cp -v snort.conf rules.bak/ cp -v local.rules rules.bak/ cp -v local.rules .localrules.orig cp -v snort.conf .snortconf.orig echo "" echo "Downloading latest ruleset from snort.org...." echo "" /usr/local/bin/wget http://www.snort.org/downloads/snortrules.tar.gz tar zxvf snortrules.tar.gz echo "" echo "Making sure local rules are restored..." cp -v rules.bak/local.rules local.rules cp -v rules.bak/snort.conf snort.conf echo "" echo "Restarting Snort..." # Killall because daemontools restarts it. killall snort echo "" ps auxwwww | grep snort echo "" echo "Done." echo ""
