1. Is the VRT set suppose to be a "complete" (for the lack of a better word. Maybe adequate would be better?) rule set capable of independent deployment. "Complete" meaning including rules for most known vulnerabilities/attacks or...
No. Of the fuzzy "sorta" variety of no. It's complete in the sense that if it doesn't detect something and you're a paying customer of sourcefire, you can complain and alter that situation.
2. Would a "complete" or "more complete" set include the combination of VRT+Community+BleedingEdge Snort. If so...
Yes.
3. Would the combination of VRT+Community+BleedingEdge result in a lot of duplicate signatures?
Of course it would. Yes. see also: OSSRC Rules Overlap Committee. -- Erik Fichtner; Unix Ronin "Mathematics is something best shared between consenting adults in the privacy of their own office" - Adam O'Donnell
