Re: VRT Categories

As far as I know the transition is complete. But, as the nature of things go, changes maybe warranted. That said, you 
can compare the files of one of the old categories against a newer one (ex.: icmp.rules vs. protocol-icmp.rules) and 
see the difference. The below statement is quoted from the first blog post:
http://blog.snort.org/2012/03/rule-category-reorganization.html
"The good news is, if you are using the Sourcefire product, PulledPork, or Oinkmaster, the vast majority of you should 
be unaffected.  These products will handle the transition just fine.  The only way you will be affected using 
PulledPork (or Oinkmaster's related tools) is if you use enablesid.conf or disablesid.conf to enable or disable entire 
categories of rules."

Hi YM,      Hmm, so are the new rule categories on those three pages the whole list? Seems a little confusing. I'm 
using the older categories and they seem to be pulling down some rules. So are they still in transition to the new more 
protocol / file /policy based categories? 
When I comment out the enablesid in my pulledpork.conf file I should get all the rules but I actually get less than if 
I use the enablesid.conf and use the old category list. 
Thanks,Ed
