Re: PulledPork 0.7.0 not parsing enablesid, disablesid, modifysid or threshold.conf files when there are no rule updates

I see. I have always used -nP when processing rules locally. I just assumed that -n tells Pulledpork not to reach the 
internet to download files, and then -P to do the actual processing of rules. That's how I read (assumed) it :).

Thanks I’ve read the readme.
 
I didn’t equate –P to parse disablesid.conf because –n indicated it would (but doesn’t).
 
Am I reading things wrong?
 
Thanks!

OK that worked, so what’s the –n switch for then?
 
-n Do everything other than download of new files (disablesid, etc). More info here:

Try running PulledPork with -P.

Subject: [Snort-users] PulledPork 0.7.0 not parsing enablesid, disablesid, modifysid or threshold.conf files when there 
are no rule updates

I’m testing PP 0.7.0 and seeing what looks like a bug but want to confirm it’s not a config issue on my end.
 
As I tune the sensor I add entries in each of the config files (enablesid,disablesid,modifysid conf files) and then run 
pulledpork and restart snort
 
/usr/local/bin/pulledpork.pl -c /usr/local/etc/snort/pulledpork.conf –vv
 
If there are no rule updates to download (from either VRT or ET) I get this output

Next if I go into disablesid.conf and add another entry and re-run pp I get the same output as the first run – the new 
entry in disablesid.conf doesn’t get parsed or disabled in the snort.rules
 file.
 
Any ideas?
 
Jason
