Re: shellcode_ports

[Gentoo-Wally <gentoowally () gmail com>]

var HTTP_PORTS 80
include somefile.rules
var HTTP_PORTS 8080
include somefile.rules

ouch, so a packet would have to be compared to any sig's in
somefile.rules twice?

var HTTP_PORTS 80
include somefile.rules
var HTTP_PORTS 8080

That should work right? It should then pickup the normal includes at
the bottom of the snort.conf (as long as somefile.rules exsisted at
the bottom also)?

If you did a ...

var HTTP_PORTS 80
include somefile.rules
var HTTP_PORTS 8080
include somefile.rules

....

include somefile.rules

Then would it then compare a single packet 3 times (once as 80 and
twice as 8080)?
