Re: Snort not showing all packets

That ought to do it. Of course, that's only going to flag pseudo packets generated by stream4 instead of the original packets from the pcap file...

I have written a preprocessor that prints the packet payload size and contents (p->dsize and p->dp). I want to use it to test stream4 and its ability to reassemble TCP streams.

My preprocessor *almost* works. Unfortunately, when I run it through a tcpdump file containing a simple wget of an index.html, I do not see the first part of the data from the web server. The first packet is there, but my preprocessor sees it as a packet of size 0.

Does anyone know what I could try to fix this?

Also, can anyone confirm that the following determines whether a packet is a reassembled stream from stream4?

        if (p->packet_flags & PKT_REBUILT_STREAM) {
                printf("This is a rebuilt stream, rebuilt by stream4.\n");
        }

Thanks
