Re: new rules set

["Ian Macdonald" <secsnort () dirk demon co uk>]

I have a linux box where I stores the rules then use oinkmaster to maintain
the rule set. Once i have updated using oinkmaster I copy the files over to
the win32 machines using your favorite method samba, scp, ftp, etc. I
normally check about once a week, or when I am about to make changes to my
local rule sets. From my experience it is always good for a security
professional to have a linux/unix box handy.

If I disable a rule I enter it in the oinkmaster conf as a disabled rule, so
that I don't have to go through and manual disable the rules I don't like
after each update. I also keep my personal rules or modified rules in a
separate rules file so it will not be affected by updates to the snort.org
distribution.

Thats the way I manage it.

Ian
