Interesting.. I didn't know http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/<oinkcode>/snortrules-snapshot-C URRENT.tar.gz.md5 existed. Is there a link that doesn't require an oinkcode? I can't find one. I also noticed that when you use this link it redirects to: http://dl.snort.org/reg-rules/snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT.tar.gz.md5?oink_co de=<oinkcode> Is the original link going to go away? Thanks!

The problem with once a week is what happens if you check on Monday at 8am and the rules are updated on Monday at 8:05? You won't get any updates for
2
weeks. It would be really great to have something like a checksum that
will
be available to see if there is a change in the rules file. This way users know exactly when an update has occurred and even if they check it every
15
minutes they will be checking a tiny file as compared to 90megs+ file.
Then
incorporating this into your favorite update utility will make updates
very
fast most of the time as there won't be an update to the file, and would severely lower the bandwidth that snort.org needs.
Good idea. If I could download the md5 using the oinkcode, it would be very nice. Like this: http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/${OINK}/snortrules-2.8.tar.gz.md 5 <http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/$%7bOINK%7d/snortrules-2.8.tar. gz.md5> Why would you need an oinkcode to look for the md5? That's an unneeded step. -- joel esler | Sourcefire | gtalk: jesler () sourcefire com | 302-223-5974
