Are you looking for the "flush_on_alert" keyword in Stream5?

I saw in the forum a person asking (in 2007) something that is the same I
want:

"so that i would be able to capture mails containing viagra. I am using
preprocessor stream4 reassmebly so that i could get the entire mail instead
of only the packet containing that string 'viagra'. "

I don't need the total packet, but just to identify that as one big-packet,
not only the packet containing the string 'viagra', but all the e-mail (the
big-packet).

Joel,

that's what I said:

"
The problem is I want to make that to connections, not sessions.

If it was sessions I can use the 'flag' keyword.
"

But I *don't* want sessions.

Take a look at the tag keyword.
http://www.snort.org/docs/snort_htmanuals/htmanual_284/node373.html


Ah! 'tag' keyword. I'm sorry, seems I read that too fast.
Unfortunately this seems to be limited relative to the size of something:

tag: <type>, <count>, <metric>, [direction];

count
      • <integer> - Count is specified as a number of units. Units are
specified in the <metric> field.

:S

I want something completely dynamic.




The flags keyword simply will trigger on the presence of certain TCP
flags set in the packet.  This is probably not what you want.

 Hello,

I'm using Snort in a project. I'm wondering if with Snort I can group
packets from the same connection. For example: if I request google.com,
I just send one packet but the response came in (imagine) 4 packets. The
idea is make Snort just consider that as 2 states (me making the request and
google sending the response). The problem is I want to make that to
connections, not sessions.

If it was sessions I can use the 'flag' keyword. Now I'm seeing if the
way is using preprocessors, in this case the HTTP preprocessor.

Can you help me?

Best Regards,
