Hello, we tried to setup the rule-source with the command like "suricata-update enable-source et/pro secret-code=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx“， but why did we receive an error message like:

KeyError: ‘secret-code’

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/suricata-update”, line 33, in
sys.exit(main.main())
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/suricata/update/main.py”, line 1305, in main
sys.exit(_main())

What version of suricata-update are you running?
I couldn’t reproduce it

3

thank you, it’s 1.2.2

4

How did you install it?
What is the system you use and the shell?
Testing it with 1.2.2 did work as well, so must be something specific to your installation/setup

5

OS is ubuntu 18.01, after i have suricata installed i didn’t install suricata-update additionally. Should i re-install it with following the instructions from Git-hub?

6

How did you install it exactly in Ubuntu?
And yes you could try to directly use the release from github.

Also, if you just run suricata-update enable-source et/pro you should be prompted for the secret code.

However, I just tested both variants of adding et/pro with 1.2.2 and it works, at least on my system.

Are you getting this error during the enable-source command, or a subsequent call to suricata-update to update the rules?
