Hi, I wanted to bring this to JJC and/or Joel's attention. I just spent some time troubleshooting why my SO_rules weren't updating with 2.9.14.0 and Pulledpork 0.7.4. Basically, pulledpork.pl is manipulating the arch retrieved from uname -a to change the "_" to a "-". All the Ubuntu precompiled so_rules have a directory structure listed as "x86-64" EXCEPT for Ubuntu-18-4, which has "x86_64". Commenting out the replacement in pulledpork.pl fixed it for me, but I guess there should be an official fix either from JJC or Snort/Talos. Also, Pulledpork just fails silently to update your SO rules if it can't find the $Distro/$arch files. Maybe an error or warning message? ;) PS. A complaint (?), or maybe more of a discussion point about the recent version of pulledpork. Now (admittedly it's been a while since I've updated) that pulledpork insists on putting the so_rules into the main file instead of giving you a choice, it's difficult (impossible?) to update your text rules separately from your so_rules. I was updating my text rules twice a day, and only updating my so_rules once a week since a so_rule update requires a restart of the snort process instead of just a reload. Maybe I should be updating text and so_rules at the same time though? I guess I could be missing rule updates that are important to get quickly by only updating so_rules once a week. For now I have decided to update text and so_rules at the same time and live with the restart of the snort processes. However, I think more choice in what pulledpork does with your so_rules is better, but perhaps there's a reason the sostub_path option was deprecated? Thanks, Shawn
