Re: Choosing the best rules

There's also the policy type in the rule metadata, which can be used by PulledPork.  Here's a couple blog posts on the 
policies, and pulledpork.

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Choosing the best rules

That's a loaded question. What rules you enable should be dependent on your environment/network etc...

I use pulled pork and use the enablesid.conf and disablesid.conf to turn on categories and disable certain rules. It's 
a constant tuning.  Enabling all rules could put a heavy load on snort and flood where your storing the results (i.e. 
Base).

Hope that helps,

Hello,
which rules should be enabled when I want to test Snort ? I downloaded the newest rules snortrules-snapshot-2960.tar.gz 
but there are only around 4000 rules enabled. Is it a good idea to enable them all ? Is there a quick way to configure 
security policy usidng pulledpork or oinkmaster ?
