VRT Rule Release Feed

Summary: Cisco Talos added an RSS news feed for its VRT rule release advisories, announced by Nigel Houghton on Wednesday, November 12, 2008, at http://www.snort.org/vrt/advisoryfeed.xml. Houghton described the feed as very basic but said it would help users keep track of new Snort rule releases.
Why it matters: Detection content changes on the vendor's schedule, not yours, and this feed was the mechanism for learning when new Snort rules shipped - a reminder that keeping intrusion detection current depends on tracking release notices as they arrive.
