This might have been a typ-o.

I clicked on the subscriber change log.  I'm a registered user.  I checked the registered user rules and the latest 
modification date is: 9-18-2013 @ 4:38PM.

I'm now cross referencing this with my snort.rules.

Thanks.

Hey guys,

This is a follow up from my earlier question:

Something just doesn't feel right about the rules.

For example, I checked: http://www.snort.org/vrt/docs/ruleset_changelogs/2946/changes-2013-10-22.html and noticed 
that the first line 1:28255 <-> ENABLED <-> MALWARE-CNC Win.Trojan.Kuluoz Potential phishing URL (malware-cnc.rules)

I then check my snort.rules file and do not find this rule anywhere in that file.  I've done a visual spot check and 
also used: 

cat snort.rules | grep -i "MALWARE-CNC Win.Trojan.Kuluoz"

I did the same with "FILE-PDF Adobe Acrobat Reader ICC remote memory corruption attempt"

Is this rule supposed to be in my snort.rules?  If so, what could be the cause of it not updating? Thanks, any help 
is appreciated.

Hi, 

I have an issue or need clarification on pulledpork. I see the following in my sid_changes.log:

My question is that I've seen this exact data since October 3, is that normal? When I started using PP, I 
deleted/archived all of my existing snort rules files except local.rules. Once I did this, PP put all of the rules 
in one file and I referenced this file in my snort.conf.  Was this correct or was I supposed to keep the default 
rules files from snort?

Thanks.
