From e01913a7d466e856324054d34362081a19f8461d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Wiese Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 12:04:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] snort: changed to not install "community rules" (see note!) Note: There are no "community" rules available anymore (since snort > 2.4), so it makes no sense to install the old rules! If someone needs the official Snort rules from Sourcefire he/she has to install them from cmdline or through the supplied tools. It is up to the final user to decide what kind of rules he/she wants to use ("Subscriber Release" or "Registered User Release"). Further infos about the official Snort rules can be found here: http://www.snort.org/snort-rules As a replacement for the former community rules we should package the open rulesets from emergingthreats.net which are available under the terms of the GPL: http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/ --- security/snort/snort.conf | 4 ---- security/snort/snort.desc | 1 - 2 files changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/snort/snort.conf b/security/snort/snort.conf index 44c9cd5fb..91b04f3eb 100644 --- a/security/snort/snort.conf +++ b/security/snort/snort.conf @@ -82,10 +82,6 @@ snort_postmake() # For security reasons this directory should not be world-readable cp -fr etc/{*.conf,*.config,*.map} $root/$sysconfdir - # Installing - # Sourcefire VRT Certified Rules - The Official Snort Ruleset (unregistered user release) - tar -v $taropt `match_source_file -p snortrules-pr` -C $root/$sysconfdir/ - # some changes on the shipped snort.conf example we use as default # replacing RULE_PATH '../rules' to './rules' sed -i 's,\.\./rules,./rules,' $root/$sysconfdir/snort.conf diff --git a/security/snort/snort.desc b/security/snort/snort.desc index 190f4f9c4..76ac01066 100644 --- a/security/snort/snort.desc +++ b/security/snort/snort.desc @@ -35,4 +35,3 @@ [P] X -----5---9 222.000 [D] 4208713062 snort-2.9.0.4.tar.gz !http://www.snort.org/downloads/808 -[D] 200629638 snortrules-pr-2.4.tar.gz http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/downloads.cgi/Download/vrt_pr/
