Rules can be downloaded from www.snort.org. Once a new rule set has been obtained or created you can load the rule set by using the WUI and navigating to System Configuration > Miscellaneous Options > AFE Configuration. Using the Choose File button, select the downloaded community-rules file and click Install new Rules. The community-rules files should be encoded in a Tar and Gzip file end with the tar.gz extension and containing a directory named “community-rules”, LoadMaster will un-compress this file and reload the new rule files (tar.gz is the standard format for rules download from www.snort.org). Installing a new rules file will replace the current rules. LoadMaster ships with the Community Rules under General Public License (GPL) by default.
