At the same time, you should review the rules which you are including in your snort.conf file for appropriateness, and to verify their classification in relation to the changes you made to the classification.config file. You should not use either the classification.config or rules out of the box. To do so, is a dereliction of duty.
Damn. People get a commerical-grade IDS FOR FREE and are bitching about a simple pr0n rule? Whoa. WTF? Hellooooo. If you are that "offended" by SNORT, don't use it. Go out and pay tens of thousands of dollars for some crap from McAfee, Cisco, or whoever. If not, and you enjoy the many, many features and benefits offered by SNORT, *FOR FREE*, then edit the rule and go about your business. -Gordo -------------------------------------------------- Gordon Ewasiuk, Certifed Sun Fanatic, Winstar VHC The REAL office number is here-----> 703.893.4901 Read the story about the #1 Unix Platform http://www.sun.com/software/cover/2001-1106 ------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
