I've just upgraded from snort version 1.8.7 (Build 128) to snort version 1.9.1 (Build 231). When I try to restart my snort processes I get an error in /var/log/messages and snort is stopping. The error is: Mar 4 09:57:05 xxxx snort: FATAL ERROR: ERROR: /usr/local/bin/snort/s1dmz.conf(185) => Unknown argument to http_decode preprocessor: "-unicode"From what I saw in the 1.9.1 docs, the arguments to the http_decodepreprocessor didn't change. Snort is configured as follows: preprocessor http_decode: 80 -unicode -cginull which is correct, from what I know.
Nope. Wrong syntax. Check the default snort.conf in the snort-1.9.1/etc dir: [erek@ghosts]/tmp/snort-1.9.1/src>grep unicode ../etc/snort.conf # unicode - normalize unicode # iis_alt_unicode - %u encoding from iis preprocessor http_decode: 80 unicode iis_alt_unicode double_encode iis_flip_slash full_whitespace No - needed. That's what your problem is. And yes, the docs do need to be updated to reflect this. Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
