Re: Broken snort rule

Actually, in snort 2.8.3.3, the -x control:

-x         Exit if Snort configuration problems occur

will fail out on many common rule problems.   For example, duplicate sids.

Cool, I had stopped testing of the autogenerated rules because it didn't
seem to be of much use. Will turn that back on.

Is there an easy way to parse the other rules though for more subtle
errors? Or force verbosity to get it to tell us about rules ignored?


does # snort -Tvvvvvv not do the trick?
