Re: [snort-devel] Chainning pre-processors

[Emiliano Fausto <emiliano.fausto () gmail com>]

Hello Hui,

you are totally right. I was confused, I didn't have to assemble fragmented
IP packets.

So, I configured the Stream5 preprocessor in order it to take into account
the port of my application (it's 9090).

I let my AddPreproc() with priority set to PRIORITY_APPLICATION so that
it's registered after the Stream5.

Then, I tried to get any packet with (p->flags & FLAG_REBUILT_STREAM), but
none of them matched, it seems that the Stream5 preprocessor isn't
reassembling my TCP segments.

The SNORT configuration file is set like this:

preprocessor stream5_global: track_tcp yes, \
    track_udp yes, \
    track_icmp no, \
    max_tcp 262144, \
    max_udp 131072, \
    max_active_responses 2, \
    min_response_seconds 5
preprocessor stream5_tcp: policy windows, detect_anomalies, require_3whs
180, \
    overlap_limit 10, small_segments 3 bytes 150, timeout 180, \
    ports client 21 22, \
    ports both 9090
preprocessor stream5_udp: timeout 180

My app works on port 9090.

Maybe, the problem is not related to stream5, maybe the problem is
originated because the one in charge of doing the segments reassembly is my
preprocessor, at the application level, and not the stream5 preprocessor at
the TCP level.

More on this, into wireshark I can see all the packets of the protocol TCP
segmented, and if I go to preferences-->protocols-->TCP it has an option
that says: "allow dissectors to reassemble TCP". It means that the
reassemble isn't being done at the TCP layer, but into the proper
application.

Do you know if SNORT has something of this? Or the Stream5 should
reassemble the payloads of the TCP packets?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Emiliano.
