SNORT-Links not working

Since some time the links in the Intrusion Prevention Alert-Mails are no longer working. Today i installed the 7.500 update, but the links are still wrong:

Message........: CHAT IRC message
Details........: http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/sigs.cgi?sid=1463
Time...........: 2009:10:26-14:21:14

If you click on the link, you get this error: The page you are looking for isn’t here

Will this work again someday?

It is pointing at a service that has been temporarily discontinued by Sourcefire. To look up Snort IDs, go to SnortID.com - Search for SNORT ID's - Snort is a registered trademark of Sourcefire, Inc .

Agreed.  The links have been non-functional since late June.  Either the links need to be fixed or removed from the report.  Since this affects everyone using Astaro, we should all want this fixed.

A feature request was started for this, but has very few votes.  Fix Snort link for Intrusion Protection Alerts ; use snortid.com

If you have a few spare votes, let's build up the numbers on this one to let Astaro know that this fix should get a little priority.

If you haven't yet been to the feature request site, take this opportunity to get signed up and vote for what you'd like to see added to the Astaro platform in future.  Unlike most vendors feature request systems, Astaro really does pay attention.  Somewhere around 90 of the enhancements in 7.500 came from Astaro Gateway Feature Requests .

Hi together,

we are in contact with sourcefire. This is no astaro related probelm to provide the wrong link. The company sourcfire which is hosting this rule database has a lot of problems. But they promised to fix it as far as possible. So this is defenitely no Feature/Bug ;-)

Thanks for your understanding

Hi,

few minutes ago I talked to our security engineer. The problem is that snort Id is not the same like snort. Over the weekend we changed all of the id's to the new database because sourcefire was not able to fix it over a long time [;)] . If you go to the current rule list you will find the correct links again:

A small correction, if you are using 7.5+ of ASG, you want the "new" list using the new engine we use...
