Snort Service Won't Start Fatal Error after Latest Update
-
Hello,
Just finished updating SNORT to version 3.2.9.3 but now the service won't start. Rebooted, still same problem. Log file shows FATAL Error
May 26 16:57:11 snort 59578 FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_49494_pppoe0/rules/snort.rules(3957) byte_test rule option cannot extract more than 4 bytes without valid string prefix.
.
Any help to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
