How many rules are currently available ?


Posted by dabbot on March 15, 2005 05:49:11

Basic question (sorry!) so I can see the difference between open source Snort and the Sourcefire offering ...
How many rules (approx) to you get with the standard open source offering ?
Versus - how many rules (approx) does Sourcefire distribute ?

(reading the forum the other main difference seems to be 5 days quicker with the latter option)

After five days the numbers are equal.
