Re: Confusion around community endpoints / md5

[Aaron Dressin <Aaron.Dressin () iboss com>]

Thanks Joel… sorry for the late response. I’ve upgraded to 2.9.7.5.

Is there any word on having an endpoint for getting the md5 for the community ruleset?

Thanks,
Aaron

So for the 1st one —
We have a bug open with our team to square this away, there are a couple different factors here, and we’ll fix them 
both at the same time.  Sorry about any inconvenience.  Are you using pulledpork to download the ruleset?

2nd —
2.9.7.0 is EOL.  The newer rulesets MAY work on the older version, but it’s not supported, and you should upgrade your 
version of Snort.

Hello,

Sorry to bump this issue, however I am still unclear how to update my existing pulled pork configurations and scripts 
to get the correct ruleset. I am a registered user and my questions are:

1.       I use to be able to grab an md5 file for the exact version of the ruleset I was interested in, which allowed 
me to know if there were any updates. For the community ruleset, which I do also fetch, I no longer see an md5 file. 
Can someone point out how to check for a new community ruleset advisory using an md5 (I see the “All Md5s” link on the 
website, but this is an HTTP response… do I need to parse this response to check the md5 now?)
2.       I am on snort version 2.9.7.0, however I no longer see ruleset files for that version ( I only see 2962, 2973, 
and 2975). Can someone confirm that I should be pulling one of these for the 2970 version of snort?

Kind Regards,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

I have confirmed the links you specified are obsolete and will no longer work in the not-so-distant future. Please 
reference the links on the current download page.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Aaron,

The community rules link on the downloads page of snort.org<http://snort.org/> redirects to the latest copy of the 
ruleset ( https://www.snort.org/downloads/community/community-rules.tar.gz ). I'll inquire about the links you provided.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hello,

Up until the 20th of this month, I was receiving correct updates for the community ruleset and matching md5 from 
respectively:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/snort-org/www/rules/community/community-rules.tar.gz
https://s3.amazonaws.com/snort-org/www/rules/community/community-rules.tar.gz.md5

Since the 20th, the md5 hasn’t changed and I am unclear what the correct rules and matching md5 url are.

Kind Regards,
Aaron
