I assume, by "the rest", you mean the community rules? My understanding is that the VRT rules are the ones produced and looked over by SF and released with each major Snort version (Snort point x._._). Getting the newer versions basically means you will have rules that are more current with ongoing network/internet activities/vulnerable/worms/viruses that are out there at that given time. An example might be if virus.X comes out, new rules would be written and released by VRT to detect it (possibly long) before a new major version of Snort may be released. I hope that helps clarify your question...if it doesn't please let me know more specifically what your question is. Basically, it gives you advanced detection capabilities... --Lee -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net] On Behalf Of Florin Andrei Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 12:15 AM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Licensing On Mon, 2005-03-07 at 21:53 -0500, Martin Roesch wrote:

Can someone explain to a guy who used Snort long time ago but didn't keep in touch - what are the VRT rules and how are they different from the rest? I know they're QA'd by SF, i wonder from a practical standpoint - what do they give me, a Snort user, that the other rules don't? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
