I am dropping packets:
May 18 09:35:51 xxxxx snort[2252]: Snort received 216724389 packets May 18 09:35:51 xxxxx snort[2252]: Analyzed: 215806721(99.577%) May 18 09:35:51 xxxxx snort[2252]: Dropped: 917668(0.423%)
Short answer is: "There is a config parameter in Stream4 to help address that. On the stream4_reassemble line, add "zero_flushed_packets". This will cause Stream4 to zero out the memory of the rebuilt packet before copying in the new data. So, when packets are missing from the middle of the rebuilt packet, you'll get 0x00 in those bytes, rather than whatever was there from the previous rebuild." <c> Steven
That does work, but now I get 0x00's in the missing portions of the packet. This is better, though I'd rather not be dropping any packets at all.
Thanks!
