Snort Subscriber Rule Set Update for 12/10/2015
We welcome the introduction of the newest rule release from Talos. In this release we introduced 22 new rules and made modifications to 2489 additional rules.
The reason for the large amount of changes was our annual policy rebalancing that we announced several years ago here. Every year adjustments are made to the ruleset to ensure it is in-line with current and emerging threats. Old rules are retired to improve performance while maintaining detection for current security issues.
There were no changes made to the
snort.conf in this release.Talos's rule release:
