Re: No TCP alerts, only UDP and ICMP

[Y M <snort () outlook com>]

Hey JJC,

No BPF arguments, we do not use them.

I ran a couple of tcpdump statements with first being generic and I can see TCP, UDP, and ICMP. The last is being too 
specific to TCP only from a machine/host im generating specific traffic from so l can tag and correlate the traffic im 
generating and seeing in the tcpdump capture. I used the same specifics with Snort in verbose mode and I can correlate 
with the TCP traffic im generating.

Running Snort in console (-A console) generates only UDP and ICMP alerts only. I'm testing with several TCP based rules 
that I would normally see/able to replicate or generate.

Snort statistics, some of it at least:

ICMP: 0.186%
UDP: 17.929%
TCP: 48.667%
Dropped: 0
Analyzed: 247964 (100%)

Thanks.
Yaser

or any BPF added to the end as a runtime arg?  How about just running
a tcpdump with a snaplen of 0 and write to a pcap to see...
