Hi James, I will take a shot explaining what I understand, if I get it wrong, someone please correct me. PulledPork should copy the .so rules from the distro/precompiled directory based on the distro variable you setup in your pulledpork.conf. If you use -T in your pulledpork command, it will process only text based rules. ________________________________ From: James Lay<mailto:jlay () slave-tothe-box net> Sent: 8/9/2013 7:09 PM To: Snort-users<mailto:snort-users () lists sourceforge net> Subject: [Snort-users] Clarification on so_rules All, I'm wanting to make sure I have this correct, so here goes. According to so_rules/src/README: To use the shared object rules, the rule stub files must be generated. To do this, follow these instructions: 1. Make sure the dynamic preprocessor and dynamic engine paths are defined in snort.conf, for example: dynamicpreprocessor directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor dynamicengine /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so 2. Make sure the path to the location of the shared object rules is also defined in snort.conf, for example: dynamicdetection directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrule 3. Dump the stub rules by issuing the command: snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf --dump-dynamic-rules=/usr/local/etc/snort/so_rules 4. Use a variable to define the path to the stub rules, for example: var SO_RULE_PATH /usr/local/etc/snort/so_rules 5. Include the generated stub rule files in snort.conf in the same way the regular rules are included, for example: include $SO_RULE_PATH/netbios.rules I use pulledpork, so instead, /opt/etc/rules/so_rules/so_rules.rules is created...so far so good. My question is, what happens with the actual .so files? Do I delete them..move them...something else? Thanks for any insight.
