Re: Unknown ClassType: trojan-activity

["Smith, Edward" <esmith () intacct com>]

I did not notice that the rules were designed for the different versions.  Since I am running CentOS 5, I was unable to 
get the latest to work, but I figured upgrading rules was fine.  Is there a way to get a new set of rules for the older 
versions of snort?  Thanks.

Looks like your classification.config file may be missing or out of date.

That being said, am I reading this right that you are running Snort 2.9.1 with a Snort 2.9.4.0 ruleset?

Hello,

I have been looking around and have not found anything that seems to answer this, so sorry if this has been addressed.
I am upgrading from snort 2.9.0 to 2.9.1, which I figured would be rather trivial.  However, I also upgraded to the 
newest ruleset 2905 to 2940 and I am getting the following error:


Reputation config:
    WARNING: Can't find any whitelist/blacklist entries. Reputation Preprocessor disabled

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Initializing rule chains...
ERROR: /etc/snort/rules/blacklist.rules(318) Unknown ClassType: trojan-activity
Fatal Error, Quitting..

Here is the offending entry, but this is the same error for every  trojan-activity error.

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"BLACKLIST User-Agent known malicious User-Agent ErrCode - 
W32/Fujacks.htm"; flow:established,to_server; content:"User-Agent|3A| ErrCode"; fast_pattern:only; nocase; http_header;

 classtype:trojan-activity; sid:18247; rev:4;)

Strange thing is that I am using the same entries in my blacklist as before, and those worked fine with 
trojan-activity.  Is there something that has disabled my ability to check for these kinds of attacks?   Any help here 
is appreciated.
