I found something on line that for that error. comment out the line in your snort.conf /similar/ to the following... dynamicdetection directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamic_rules just place a # at the beginning of the line and try starting snort again... I did this and I get a little further, now I get this error: +---------------------------------------------------------------- [ Number of patterns truncated to 20 bytes: 324 ] pcap DAQ configured to passive. Acquiring network traffic from "eth0". ERROR: Can't set DAQ BPF filter to '.T' (pcap_daq_set_filter: pcap_compile: illegal char '.')! Fatal Error, Quitting..

I can get pulled pork to update the rules now, however I can’t get Snort to start.

As is listed on the EOL page (www.snort.org/eol<http://www.snort.org/eol>), we support the latest patch version of the current major version and the latest patched version of the prior major version (So 2.9.6.2, 2.9.5.6) (The third number being the major version). When we introduce a new version (2.9.6.2), we support the last minor revision for 90 days, then it is EOL. So, for instance, The next version with be 2.9.7.0, at which time, we will set 2.9.5.6 (two major versions down) to 90 day EOL. We will support 2.9.6.2 until the next major version (2.9.8.0 or whatever we are calling it) is released. Does that help? -- Joel Esler Open Source Manager Threat Intelligence Team Lead Talos On Oct 20, 2014, at 9:30 AM, Hanson.Webster () salemfive com<mailto:Hanson.Webster () salemfive com> wrote: Looking at the EOL table it appears that SNORT versions go end of life after 6 months. 2.9.6 was valid from 1/2014 until 7/2014 and 2.9.61 was valid from 4/2014 until 10/2014. Should I assume that 2.9.6.2 will go EOL in February of 2015? What is the procedure for updating SNORT? Is it required to update it twice a year?
