Hi @jon

I was looking at the IPS rulesets due to the response from a forum question and found additional rulesets no longer supported.

I updated tge rulesets wiki page with that status and put the topics onto the IPFire video conf call.

It was agreed yesterday to remove the no longer supported or available rulesets and to add the Threatfox new ruleset so i will work on a patch for that.

Hopefully should end up in CU183 or 184.
