Subject: Non-Determinism in Snort detection engine


Snort team,


I have recently observed that snort, having same rules (Pre-processor rules to be precise), have generated different 
number of alerts for the same pcap traffic when run twice. Is there any non-determinism in the snort engine or I might 
have done something wrong with the experiment?


regards

Asad
