Snort Rules and category questions
-
Hi there, ppl!
I have 2 questions, which are perhaps stupid, but I hadn't found answers yet.
1. Shall I use EmergingThreats rules as an addition to VRT rules, or as a substitution to VRT rules?
The main idea is to minimize memory foortprint of Snort processes.
2. Is there (and if it exists, where) a thorough documentation about categories of rules for both VRT and Emerging threats?
There is some small piece of doc in EmergingThreats Wiki (http://doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/EmergingFAQ), but I wanted to get more deep look on those categories. I understand, that the best way is to analyze rules one by one, but it will take weeks, which I don't have.Thank in advance.
