Re: File extraction during http/ftp transaction

[Rishabh Shah <rishabh420 () gmail com>]

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I did a ./configure --enable-file-inspect and
while executing make, I saw the following error messages:

*/root/snort_src/snort-2.9.7.0/src/plugbase.c:216: undefined reference to
`SetupAppId'*

I am not sure why am I seeing those messages as I see a reference to the
above errors:

root@fwuser-virtual-machine:~/snort_src/snort-2.9.7.0/src# grep -r
"optionAppIdFree" .
Binary file ./detection-plugins/detection_options.o matches
Binary file ./detection-plugins/sp_appid.o matches

*optData)

./detection-plugins/detection_options.c:
 optionAppIdFree(key->option_data);
./detection-plugins/sp_appid.h:void optionAppIdFree(AppIdOptionData

I appended the following line in snort.conf:
*preprocessor file_inspect: type_id, signature, capture_disk
/home/file_capture/tmp/, capture_queue_size 5000*

While executing snort process, I got a core file with the following message:

File config:
    file type: ENABLED
    file signature: ENABLED
    file capture: ENABLED
    file capture directory: /home/file_capture/tmp/
    file capture disk size: 300 (Default) megabytes
    file sent to host: DISABLED (Default), port number: 0

*Segmentation fault (core dumped)*

The traceback of the core file points to:

I had installed openappid as well.
