I have a custom script that used to download the rules once a day using the following URL, but the new link for registered users is a .cgi script that verifies if you are logged in as a registered user, which of course doesn't work for backend scripts... I'm guess registering as a oink user is the way to go? /usr/bin/wget http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/snortrules-snapshot-2_2.tar.gz --directory-prefix=/usr/local/snort/rules All you have to do is change your script like this:/usr/bin/wget http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/{oinkcode}/snortrules-snapshot-2.2.tar.gz - -directory-prefix=/usr/local/snort/rules
You get the oinkcode from Sourcefire after you've registered. Paul Schmehl (pauls () utdallas edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Memberhttp://www.utdallas.edu/
