Snort VRT Rules Failing
-
Can anyone give me some advise on how to get the Snort VRT Rules to update. I have tried to "Force Update" but it still fails. The snort package is at 3.2.9.1_13 (with the check mark that means it is current).

Ask in the IDS/IPS forum where the Snort stuff is usually discussed.
-
Unfortunately Snort version 2.9.8.0 is EOL so we will have to wait for update to 2.9.8.3.
-
This problem will be fixed soon. Just submitted a pull request to update the binary package, and will be submitting the matching GUI package update shortly.

Thank for the response, really appreciate it!

All pull requests submitted and the new binary package is building. The new package should show up as an update on the PACKAGE MANAGER in the SYSTEM menu shortly.

I noticed that snort is no longer available in package manager. What does this mean? Should we no longer use it or remove it?
Also, is the "System_Patches 1.1.4_1" the new package we need to install? Should snort be uninstalled before running System_Patches"? I am still rather ignent when it comes to pdSense.

Is there any way to have the router pull the update from GIT? It appears the newer Snort has been in GIT for a couple of days but isn't being pushed down to whatever pkg on pfsense pulls from.

Bump Snort GUI package to 3.2.9.1_14 for bug fixes and 2.9.8.3 binary…

Looks like the port update was only put into devel (pfSense 2.4) and RELENG_2_3 (pfSense 2.3.2) and not RELENG_2_3_1. Should be fixed up at some point today unless there's a reason it was kept out of there that I am not seeing.

@jimp is correct. Renato is working on getting the new package into RELENG_2_3_1 as well, but I think he had some other more pressing fires to fight earlier today. He and I have swapped e-mails and he said he will get the update posted.
