Most of the changes are localized in local.rules, but I have also made changes to the way some of the other rules work in order to reduce false positives in my environment. My question - how do I preserve the customized rules in files other than local.rules when I update my rule sets either from an update to snort or simply an update to my rules files? I'm not looking forward to handling each customization individually. -chip
I have the same problem. What I have done so far is to write a perl script which takes a list of SIDs comments the rules out. I want to extend this to cover simple modifications, eg added options, changed targets etc but have not had time to do so. -- Russell Fulton, Computer and Network Security Officer The University of Auckland, New Zealand _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
