Re: alert suppression

[Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>]

You can grep, for the word "tag".
Like I said, there is only one VRT rule that has it turned on, otherwise the
alerts are probably coming from pseudo packets out of some preprocessor.  If
you running a ruleset from other rule repositories, there are lots of rules
with "tag" in the Emerging-Threats rules.
