Re: snort_ddos.rules and snort_dos.rules

Yes.  In fact, I depreciated them when I was still at Sourcefire (before we were purchased by Cisco!).  There hasn't been anything in those categories for years.  If you want DDOS/DOS rules, you need to look at the classification in the rules for denial-of-service.
