Yes. I am using pulledpork to download and manage my ruleset. I am using pulledpork version 0.70 and hence all the 
rules are merged into single file snort.rule.





Here are the pulledpork details for my setup-

   Hi,



   I need help in configuring the flowbits configuration for Snort version 2.9.5 GRE (Build 103). I am using both snort 
registered rules and ET open rules.



   I am getting following errors-

   Here is my flowbit configuration-

   config flowbits_size: 512

   #flowbits:isset, all, 2000 (I was trying to enable this option, but got some error and hence disabled it.



   I would like to know what would be the flowbit keywords with my rulesets to avoid these errors.





   Thanks and Regards,

   Anshuman
