In case others are receiving errors from their update scripts [1]:
"Sanesecurity signatures are no longer being updated or distributed due
to extremely high server resource usage, which appears to be from a
distributed denial of service attack (DDoS). I've moved server hosts
twice (which takes time) and both times have resulted in the site being
suspened.
As many of you know, I produce the signatures and run the site, in my
spare time and with Christmas approaching I’m finding my spare time is
currently limited.
Hopefully this won’t be the end of the signatures and I’m hoping that
they may return in the New Year.
May I take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped this
project, either by providing samples, bandwidth, download scripts or
donating.
Thanks and sorry to let you all down.
Steve
