Re: [Easyids-users] snort rules not updating?

[Charles R. <cha...@th...>]

I would venture my issue might be the following:

OINK_URL="
http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/5bd65261f42302de116b4dab48172645f107b680/snortrules-snapshot-2.8.tar.gz
"

This property is in my /etc/easyids/update.conf file.

If I put that url in my browser, it gives me a file not found.

The update.conf mentions it is not recommended to edit it.

Can I download the rules myself and apply it myself?

Thanks,
Charles
