Also what's the concept of blacklist and whitelist rules. Are the rules in
the blacklist.rules file rules that don't trigger events?

Also in all the rules files I see a majority of rules commented. Should I
leave them commented or uncomment them or did the VRT team comment these
because they wanted the users to uncomment them as per their need?

What the deal here?

Hello All,

I see that only my test ruleis triggering events.


#alert icmp any any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"ICMP test"; sid:10000001;)


All the paths in snort.conf are correct.

I see that my blacklist.rules is a very long file with lots of rules. Is
this causing the problem?

Why is the test rule the only rules that is triggering events.
