Snort/Suricata Package - Allow to update rules from file/web share - $100

[dc401]

Will pay $100 for a feature to allow the snort and suricata package to update signatures either by directory or tar ball format from a local repo such as http/s server or file share (such as smb or sshv2) from a local network resource. Would prefer it to be part of the snort/suricata package or could be an separate package.

I'm looking into doing this. A local directory should be doable, as should a local http server. SMB is doubtful because AFAIKk there's no SMB client on pfSense, and adding one is probably not the best idea.
