Smal Snort pakage fix needed
-
Hi, It seems like the Snort pakage is unable to download paid subscriber VRT rule updates due too a hardcoded url in snort_download_rules.php, would it be posible to include this in a small fix for the Snort pakage ?
( Subscribers receive:The fastest access to Sourcefire VRT Certified Rule updates - The same quality ruleset developed for Sourcefire customers – 30 days faster than registered users
Coverage in advance of exploits - The Sourcefire VRT proactively focus on the underlying vulnerability, rather than simply reacting to known attacks
The ability to submit false positives/negatives directly to the Sourcefire VRT – A detailed submission form sends false positives/negatives reports directly to the VRT ) -
What is the change needed exactly? I thought the oink code distinguished from this?

Hi , the fix is acual almost as smal as posibel ;-) as the URL for subscribed downloads an public downloades is :
Public : snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT.tar.gz
Subscribed: snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT_s.tar.gzIs only the "_s" thats differs in the url , the oikmastercode may also be validated but it's not canged ( mine is the same as before i subscribed )
-
Deinstall and reinstall the package. Afterwards a new checkbox will show up in the snort settings area. Check the subscriber checkbox and _s will automatically be appended to the download.
