Re: Duplicate rules & rule parser

[Anshuman Anil Deshmukh <anshuman () cybage com>]

Hi,

I am still hunting for a rule parser, does anyone have a working rule parser? Also request you to see my 
comments/questions inline for the oddities.


Thanks and Regards,
Anshuman

Oddities I can see:

1) You've defined a reg-rules rule_url and the community-rules.
[Anshuman] Yes, I am a registered user. So in that case do you mean to say that both community & registered user rules 
doesn't work together and hence rather than using both of them, either one of them should be used?

2) You've put a fixed Snort version (2.9.5.0) into the reg-rules rule_url
[Anshuman] I request you to kindly send me the correct URL meant for registered users

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.
[Anshuman] No further queries on this
