Greetings, Unless I'm mistaken, there is not a "complete list of new and modified rules" available at the link referenced below. These bulletins used to list the SIDs/GIDs for the SO rules in the update package, like so: http://seclists.org/snort/2010/q2/668 More recent bulletins seem to have quit listing the SO rules in the update, and I haven't been able to find a changelog on the website that indicates what new SO rules should be in our update packages. For example, since this update only includes SO rules, the changelogs linked on the site are blank/empty (http://www.snort.org/vrt/docs/ruleset_changelogs/2_8_6_0/changes-2010-06-05.html). This makes it difficult to determine what the new rules are and verify that they have been deployed correctly. If this information is available somewhere, I'd be happy if someone could point me to it; otherwise, could Sourcefire resume listing SO rule SIDs/GIDs in these signature update bulletins, or in the changelogs on the webiste?

We have not ever listed the shared object rules in the changelog. We are in the process of changing that, it has not been high on the priority list since most people use a tool like Pulled Pork to manage their rules (it produces a changelog that has the shared object rules listed). Tools like Pulled Pork and Oinkmaster also have the advantage of producing a changelog that is specific to your environment and not just a difference between the current and last set of rules produced. The changelogs on snort.org are there for a quick verification of what is new and yes, they should include the shared object rules. We are aware of the problem and like I said, it is on the todo list to fix and we will do so. -- Nigel Houghton Head Mentalist SF VRT http://vrt-sourcefire.blogspot.com && http://labs.snort.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
