Hi Noah, Try commenting out the below line max_detect.lua. We are planning to remove that; from security.lua as well. The default allows midstream pickups. stream_tcp.require_3whs = 0 Russ From: Snort-devel <snort-devel-bounces () lists snort org> on behalf of Noah Dietrich <noah_dietrich () 86penny org> Date: Sunday, April 26, 2020 at 1:39 PM To: "snort-devel () lists snort org" <snort-devel () lists snort org> Subject: [Snort-devel] question on --tweaks max_detect Hello, I have a question on the --tweaks max_detect flag. when i run it, i'm actually seeing less alerts generated as when i don't include that flag, which seems counter-intuitive. The command i'm running: sudo snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua -r ~/pcaps/maccdc2012_00000.pcap -A alert_fast -s 65535 -k none --tweaks max_detect my snort.lua is attached, i'm using the Registered ruleset and builtin rules on snort 3.0.1 b2, ubuntu 20 x64. with max_detect: total_alerts: 43245 runtime: 00:03:49 without max_detect: total_alerts: 44564 runtime: 00:03:51 the pcap file is from: wget https://download.netresec.com/pcap/maccdc-2012/maccdc2012_00000.pcap.gz gunzip maccdc2012_00000.pcap.gz not a big deal, but odd. Thanks Noah
