<div dir="ltr">A couple questions on these.<div><br></div><div style>1.) Why was a unix domain socket chosen instead of just binding to a port on the host which would potentially allow me to programmatically interact with many suricata instances / nodes from a central location. It would be useful to be able to set a TCP port that suricata could bind to.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>2.) Has anyone requested or discussed extending the current functionality to having the ability to inject signatures and load them via the JSON / socket interface? </div><div style><br></div>
<div style>Also worth noting... in 1.4 it seems the configure script ( maybe just the help? ) needs to be updated to be able to ./configure --enable-unixsocket or something similar. I had to manually enable it in the <a href="http://configure.ac">configure.ac</a> to build it.</div>
