 ```



## Basic Usage Examples



A simple example of how to use PulledPork would be to specify all of your configuration directives inside of the

`PulledPork.conf` file.  Specifically for minimal function, i.e. NO Shared Object rule processing you must define 

at a minimum the `rule_file`, `oinkcode`, `temp_path`, `tar_path`, and `rule_path` values.  Below are some examples of this.



```bash

./pulledpork.pl -o /usr/local/etc/snort/rules/ -O 12345667778523452344234234 \

  -u http://www.snort.org/reg-rules/snortrules-snapshot-2973.tar.gz \

  -i disablesid.conf -T -H

```



The above will fetch the `snortrules-snapshot-2973.tar.gz` tarball from snort.org using the specified `oinkcode` of 

`12345667778523452344234234` and put the rules files from that tarball into the output path of 

`/usr/local/etc/snort/rules/` while the `-i` option tells pulledpork where the

`disablesid.conf` lives, and the `-T` option tells pulledpork to not process for any shared object rules and the final

`-H` option tells pulledpork to send a `Hangup` signal to the snort pid that you defined in the `pulledpork.conf`.



```bash

./pulledpork.pl -c pulledpork.conf -i disablesid.conf -T -H

```



Similar to the first example but all options specified in the `pulledpork.conf` file (other than `disablesid` and `-H`)...



```bash

./pulledpork.pl -c pulledpork.conf -i disablesid.conf \

  -m /usr/local/etc/snort/sid-msg.map -Hn

```



The above will simply read the disablesid and disable as defined, then send a `Hangup` signal after generating the `sid-msg.map`

at the specified location without downloading anything.

Highly useful when tuning / making changes etc..



Next example, snort inline with rules that we want to drop and disable, then `HUP` our daemons after creating a `sid-msg.map`

and writing change info to `sid_changes.log`!



```bash

./pulledpork.pl -c pulledpork.conf -i disablesid.conf -b dropsid.conf \

  -m /usr/local/etc/snort/sid-msg.map -h /var/log/sid_changes.log -H

```



Next example, same as the previous but specifying that we want to run the default "security" based ruleset

and that we want to enable rules specified in `enablesid.conf`.



```bash

./pulledpork.pl -c pulledpork.conf -i disablesid.conf -b dropsid.conf \

  -e enablesid.conf -m /usr/local/etc/snort/sid-msg.map \

  -h /var/log/sid_changes.log -I security -H

```



Next example, same as the previous but specifying that we want to `-K` (Keep) the originationg tarball names.

and write them to `/usr/local/etc/snort/rules/`



```bash

./pulledpork.pl -c pulledpork.conf -i disablesid.conf -b dropsid.conf \

  -e enablesid.conf -m /usr/local/etc/snort/sid-msg.map \

  -h /var/log/sid_changes.log -I security -H -K /usr/local/etc/snort/rules/

```



For users of Suricata, the same steps are necessary for where your installation files reside, but all that pulledpork needs to process

rule files is the `-S` flag being set to `suricata-3.1.3` or whatever version of suricata you are using



```bash

./pulledpork.pl -c pulledpork.conf -S suricata-3.1.3

```



Pulledpork "should" work with Suricata and ET/ETPro rules. However there is no support for Talos rules to run on Suricata.



## Special Notes Section



Please note that pulledpork runs rule modification (enable, drop, disable, modify) in that order by default..



1. enable

2. drop

3. disable



This means that disable rules will always take precedence.. thusly if you specify the same `gid:sid` 

in enable and disable configuration files, then that sid will be disabled.. keep this in mind 

for ranges also!  However, you can specify a different order using the state_order keyword in the

master config file.



I'll probably add more info later, the `--help` or `--?` will display all runtime options and the `pulledpork.conf` is

pretty well annotated... so if you can't figure it out... try harder!  And once you figure it out, please feel 

free to contribute with additional readme / help foo.. thx!



As a side note, I would like to give a shout-out to my buddy Bruce for aiding in the naming of PulledPork!

"hopefully that will shut him up ;-)"
