Re: Snort / Pulled Pork Confusion

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

Dumping all the rules into one bucket might be easier in the long run for an
experienced rule operator, but for the new rule operator, it might get a
little confusing.

 

I know separators were discussed earlier, but development on PP is at a
crawl, or non-existent L

 

One solution for those that use the -k switch would be for Sourcefire to
prepend 'vrt-' to the distributed *.rules in the official distributed rule
tarball, and change the snort.conf to reflect the 'vrt-*.rule'. At least
that way, what you see in the official distributed rule tarball, is what you
are seeing in the rules folder after using the -k switch in PP.

 

Kindest regards,

Michael...

The logic here is quite simple... new rule categories and files are included
in the rules tarball, they are automatically included in your live ruleset
this way.  This is one of but many solid logical arguments.
