Re: Loosing alerts with 1.8.1-beta5 (was: Linux and packet

I compared my snort logs to dragon reports in regard to code red worm alerts 
and the numbers matched.   This was on 1.8.1beta3 build 50

I am running version 1.8-RELEASE (Build 43) running on linux kernel 2.2.19 
and am
not noticing this behavior. My snort logs and my apache logs agree on the same
number.

Can someone check this out? I've had snort running fine under Linux-2.4.x
for some time now, but now I'm running 1.8.1-beta5 I'm seeing the same 
thing.

Knowing CodeRed was out there, I checked my snort logs this morning to 
find
that our Apache (:-) server had received ONE CodeRed hit. That didn't seem
right so I checked it's logs. SIX hits.

As with Matthew, snort detected the first one, and missed the next five...

Sounds too much of a coincidence, anyone else see this?

More info. Snort detected and reported other scans between the first and
second CodeRed hits, so it was picking other things up...


Snort-1.8.1-beta5, with http://snort.sourceforge.net/snortrules.tar.gz 
rules
downloaded yesterday (yup, 20+ hours before CodeRed hit). Could the rules
themselves be at fault?

preprocessor stream4: detect_scans, keepstats, timeout 30, memcap 8388608
preprocessor stream4_reassemble: both, ports 21 23 25 53 80 3128 143 110

I've got snort 1.7 running on a Linux 2.2.19 (Debian) system.

The code red worm is starting to get going now, and I've noticed an
oddity. I've got one alert for .ida attempt in my snort log
