Re: Extracting snortrules-2931.tar.gz

[Jeremy Hoel <jthoel () gmail com>]

to check the size of a file, go to the directory where the file is and
run 'ls -al'.

But since 'file' said it's text and not a tar.gz or zip file, then
that's the problem.  Your download is not correct.

go ahead and run 'cat snortrules-2931.tar.gz'
