Is it dangerous to use custom ruletypes? I just discovered that when you define your own ruletypes, they are put LAST in the chain of rules. Here is an example of the output when I run snort with the -o option (pass rules first): Rule application order: ->pass->activation->dynamic->alert->log->panic[...snip...] Little Known Snort Tidbit #324: config order: panic pass activation dynamic alert log Thank Andrew for that one. ;-)
Ah! Yes, thank you Andrew and Erek. I was getting really worried here...
