Still haven't seen an email from you with your snort.org<http://snort.org> login in order for me to see if you have a 
problem with your account.

Looks like there's no definite solution to this problem, no troubleshooting guides and no documentation of whats 
causing the error. Some one said to try

cpan Mozilla::CA IO::Socket::SSL


It doesn't help either.

For testing PP only; As long as you specify the version of rules to pull in the pulledpork.conf  ( 
snort_version=x.x.x.x )  the version of snort you are running is not relevant, or shouldn’t be. PP should complete 
successfully.

I complained about this MONTHS / YEARS ago; For thirty days after a new version of Snort is released there is confusion 
about the rule set / configuration files compatibility for new users. Registered users can’t get access to the newly 
named rule set that matches the latest Snort version.

As a Registered user, you have just downloaded Snort 2.9.6.1, and the only rule set available is 2.9.6.0. However, you 
see that the subscribers have a Snort 2.9.6.1 rule set. It’s confusing if the only rule set available to registered 
users is 2.9.6.0, when they only have access to Snort 2.9.6.1. It’s not just the rule set, what about the new 
configuration files that are embedded into the new 2.9.6.1 rule set.  By installing Snort 2.9.6.1 and using the old 
Snort 2.9.6.0 configuration files from the 2.9.6.0 rule set, are you using outdated configuration files?

All Sourcefire needs to do at the release of a new Snort version is:

Clone the current registered users 2.9.6.0 rule set
Add all the configuration files from 2.9.6.1 subscribers rule set to the cloned 2.9.6.0 registered users rule set.
Rename the cloned 2.9.6.0 rule set to 2.9.6.1, and post it in the registered users area.

Registered users are not getting access to any new Subscribers rules, but all the confusion is gone.

@Joe: 2961 ruleset is available only for subscribed user and not for registered user. Is it mandatory to have a 
matching version of snort.conf file and rule set i.e. if I want to download 2960 rule-set I must have a 2960 version 
snort.conf file ?

I’m not sure what your problem is, but upgrading Snort won’t have any effect on the way PP processes the rules.

There is a lot of information out there from multiple people having the same problem.

Try the link below and I’m confident the answer is in there somewhere.

Subject: [Snort-users] Error 500 during update of rule-set using pulled-pork

I am getting the following error when I am trying to update my rule-set using pulled pork

Checking latest MD5 for snortrules-snapshot-2956.tar.gz....
    Error 500 when fetching http://www.snort.org/reg-rules/snortrules-snapshot-2956.tar.gz.md5 at

/usr/local/bin/pulledpork.pl<http://pulledpork.pl> line 1847
I am a registered user. Some one in the mailing list told me to upgrade my snort. But even after up-garding my snort to 
version 2.9.6.1, I am still getting the same error.
