Hi,
What about fragmented packets that never defragmented and
"out-of-order" sequence number packets? The reason I raised this
question is there are some attacks not detected because sometimes
packets are not passed down to the dectection engine.
Thanks,
Tung.

I could be wrong on this, but I can't think of a scenario where a packet
would pass through frag3 or stream5 and get stopped.  Unless the engine told
it to stop. (Like the SSL preprocessor instructed stream5 to not reassemble
an encrypted stream or something).  Or if you had stream5 set up to force a
3 way handshake or something.  Something in an inline deployment that
stopped a packet midstream.

But normally, yes, all packets should get passed down to the Detection
Engine.  Why?  Are experiencing a problem?

It seems that nobody cares about questions raised by Snort-user or no
one knows about this??? This is my fifth post and still not a reply
yet.

Hi all,
Could anyone please let me know after a packet is examined by Frag3 and
Stream5, is the packet always passed down to the Detection Engine? If
not, in which case a packet is not passed down to the Detection
Engine?
Thank you very much.
