There's also the policy type in the rule metadata, which can be used by PulledPork.

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, Ed Sent from a mobile device.

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 ?
What's in your environment? You running a web server, load up the web rules. Running pop3? Load those up....if you're not, then don't load them. James
