Feature Request: Suricata version override for rulecat?

valorcz opened this issue · 3 comments

I am merging Suricata ET rules on a server where Suricata daemon is not present, but I know which version of it runs on the boxes. However, rulecat doesn't use '-enhanced' ruleset in such a case, it goes with '-1.3' only.

Would it be possible to add an option with Suricata version override? Or just an option instructing rulecat to download and use the enhanced ruleset?

For now you could specify the URL with the --url parameter, that will override the default URL used which does take the Suricata version into account.

Great point, thanks!

There is now a "--suricata-version " command line argument to idstools-rulecat.
