Hi Lutz, one or two ip ending with .0 ? (72.30.x.0) Regards Rmkml
Both don't end with 0. Am Montag, den 07.08.2006, 18:19 +0200 schrieb Todd Wease:
This alert only occurs if either the source or destination ip starts with 127. It's a decoder alert and isn't fired by any of the rules but only if you have specified that decoding issues should be alerted upon. Decoding alerts can be turned off by adding the line config disable_decode_alerts
I don't want to deactivate those alerts, I know what Loopback traffic. And that is exactly why this bothers me. It shouldn't be alerted by snort because it is not Loopback traffic. But I see I'm not the only one that is seeing alerts that shouldn't be there. Frank, I do have other (real) loopback traffic here, that doesn't have chksum=0. Either chksum=0 is causing the alert, but more likely is that snort somehow displays the chksum wrong as a "side effect". As this is normal and valid traffic I pretty much doubt the chksum of the packet itself was wrong or even 0.
