Re: Interesting observation with with so rules

[Y M <snort () outlook com>]

I just noticed that you are manually dumping the rules and not from PulledPork, I was reading from my phone, sorry. The 
reason I asked which version of PulledPork is because since v0.7.0 , PulledPork dumps the the rules into the same 
snort.rules file, from pulledpork.conf:
##### Deprecated - The stubs are now  categorically written to the  single rule file!
# sostub_path=/usr/local/etc/snort/rules/so_rules.rules

Hence Snort was is not able to find $SORULE_PATH/bad-traffic.rules. But I guess that's not the issue after all!
ThanksYM
