the only safe assumption is that it will not work as expected. It
_should_ generally work but is not guaranteed to do so. Parsing bugs get
fixed, capabilities get refined, etc...
Old rules releases are not regressed against newer engines, the ultimate
result is therefore undefined.

Why would you want to use older rules? Can't you use the current ones?

Hi Snort-sigs
Does anybody know if itâs possible to use old snort rules with a newer
snort?
Example: vrt-rules in Version 2.6 and a snort 2.8
Thanks
Kind regards
Sven
