Since last week I am observing that I have duplicate copies of many rules in my rule file. I am using pulledpork 
version 0.70 and hence all the rules are merged into a single file. How do we remove all the duplicate rules? Any 
rule parser that can be used or anybody having a script for that?

My pulledpork configuration - http://pastebin.com/E4Z368rx

Oddities I can see:

1) You've defined a reg-rules rule_url and the community-rules.
2) You've put a fixed Snort version (2.9.5.0) into the reg-rules rule_url
3) You've set snort_version to 2.9.5.0 - as long as Pulledpork
can find the binary, you should let it work it out for itself.
