Great work breda in getting  a developer  from the LEDE Openwrt to help with snort.

The easiest way in getting the file is by using the windows programs winscp (also works in via wine on a linux computer) and just copying the files from the Shield to a folder on your computer.

Some of the question the developer has

1- What are you planning to update
- Snort rules
 Snort rules are updated daily automatically 

- Snort service?
 needs updating to latest version

- Whole firmware
Could be a tricky one as not sure how Itus Network forked from the main Openwrt source code

2- Do you have SSH access to the box?
Access is via dropbear

3- Do you have serial access to the box?
 Via USB RJ45 serial cable

4- How many devices do you have?

5- Do you have a firmware backup?

I have two devices and will be willing to test any updates out on one of these devices, I think the first port of call would be to get  snort updated, as the many program of IDS.I did try updating snort from the openwrt web site but just stopped the shield working, so just done a reset and gave up as. Think it was because the config files are in different places on the shield

Any question or help just ask.
