Re: Import ET into Sourcefire DC

[Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>]

Matt,

This isn't a Snort issue, it's a Sourcefire issue, and we have strict internal restrictions about discussing product on 
the Snort lists for fear of people accusing us of advertising product, so I'd rather it NOT be on list.  If I do it, 
that allows other people to do it, and other companies, and before we know it the Snort lists will turn into an 
advertising list, and we all don't want that.

The correct way for this question to be fielded is through Sourcefire support.  

The import of rules is extremely easy to do and is documented both in our manual as well as the help documentation 
within the Defense Center.    If you have a Sourcefire support account, it's documented for you.
