RE: [sniffer] Rule Strength Analysis Upgrades
Hello Pete, I'm noticing the results of this already. Our rule base went from aprox 70,000 rules to 53,000. I don't see much change in capture rate but it is still early. Shaun -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pete McNeil Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:16 AM To: sniffer@sortmonster.com Subject: [sniffer] Rule Strength Analysis Upgrades Hello Sniffer Folks, I will be making a significant upgrade to the Rule Strengths Analysis program today. The upgrade will make the rule strength calculation much more sensitive to the recent activity of any given rule so that if a rule stops showing activity it's rule strength will drop over time... as that time becomes longer the rule strength will drop more radically until the rule is made inactive. This will also cause rule fitness decisions to be more competitive so that the most effective rules will be more strongly selected over time. If these adjustments have the desired effect then rulebase efficiency will be dramatically increased and rulebase file sizes will drop significantly. This will improve SNFs performance in two ways: 1. Rulebase files will be smaller and will require less bandwidth to download and to load during operation. There will also be a measurable increase in scanning speed (though this is already measured in small numbers of milliseconds on most systems). 2. The smaller, more efficient files can be compiled and delivered more quickly which will allow us to increase the rate at which we deliver updates. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION :-) All of this work will happen on our end of the Internet.

[sniffer] RuleBase size
Just wanted to chime in here that the original changes seem to have helped my rulebase as it has gone down from 11,355,504 bytes to 4,871,976 bytes but I believe I'm still at the 'standard' rulebase strength.

RE: [sniffer] Automatic update snafu
Hello John, I have built a similar script using WGET and the only big difference I can see is that I use wget -N http://www.sortmonster.net You can try putting the -N right after wget and see if it works better for you. How are you testing? Do you copy an older snf file over to compare with? Shaun Sturby, MCSE Manager - Technical Services Optrics Engineering -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Shacklett Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 7:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sniffer] Automatic update snafu I'm using an automatic update script to keep my rulebase up to date. This script runs periodically through the day and it also runs in response to the emails that come when the rulebase gets updated by the SortMonster. All hail the SortMonster! Anyway. The heavy lifting in that script is a line like: c:\winnt\wget.exe http://www.sortmonster.net/Sniffer/Updates/mysnfcode.snf -N -O mysnfcode.new.gz --header=Accept-Encoding:gzip --http-user=sniffer --http-passwd=password -o snfupd.txt I'm doing something wrong. Everytime the script fires it pulls the file, even if it isn't newer. I thought the -N parameter was supposed to limit that.
