Hi, all I analyze the web-activex rules in both 2.7 and 2.8 version. There are lots of rules commented out (more than half). So do many other files. What do commented-out rules mean? Are they bad rules, or as a backup for special usage? Thank you very much!
It means they are off by default. You can choose to turn them on, if they apply to your environment. -- Joel Esler | 302-223-5974 | Gtalk: jesler () sourcefire com
