NAME¶
suricata-oinkmaster-updater - Run oinkmaster to update suricata ruleset
SYNOPSIS¶
suricatas-oinkmaster-updater
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
suricatas-oinkmaster-updater
command.
suricata-oinkmaster-updater is a shell script that run
oinkmaster(1) to update
suricata(8) ruleset. The intention is to
hook the call to this script from a daily cron job, so
suricata(8)
rulesets are automagically updated every day.
HOW IT WORKS¶
The default Debian configuration will run
oinkmaster(1) with the config
file
/etc/suricata/suricata-oinkmaster.conf which is pre-configured to
download the
EmergingThreats open ruleset for
suricata(8).
When the download is completed,
suricatasc(1) will be called to instruct
suricata(8) to reload the ruleset.
CONFIGURATION¶
By now, the only way to modify the behaviour of
suricata-oinkmaster-updater is to modify the
/etc/suricata/suricata-oinkmaster.conf file. Or modify the shell script
itself.
More options may be added in the future.
