Another related question is why the loaded(!) dynamic rules are not
shown as active, while the corresponding libraries are (the path to the
merged dynamic rules file is totally correct, and there is no error
message at all):
<snip_error_blurb>

Take a look at the article by Richard Bejtlich:

http://searchsecuritychannel.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid97_gci1299181,00.html
.
And then suit yourself with some drinks
(http://blog.joelesler.net/2008/02/snort-drinking-game-by-erek-adams.html)
as so_rules were already discussed in [snort-users]. Cheers! ;)

Hey guys,

i have two problems with my http_inspect configuration

the first problem is that the preprocessor only accepts the default server
configuration. I have added a special individual server configuration
because is the firewall but with no affect.

the second problem is how can i deactivate oversize_cunk_encoding ?

preprocessor http_inspect: global \
               iis_unicode_map unicode.map 1250
#
preprocessor http_inspect_server: server default \
               profile apache \
               ports { 80 8080 } \
               no_alerts
#               flow_depth 300 \
#               ascii no \
#               multi_slash no \
#               chunk_length {50000 alert no } \
#               apache_whitespace no \
#               utf_8 no \
#               non_strict \
#               webroot no \
#               no_alerts

preprocessor http_inspect_server: server xx.xx.xx.xx profile all ports { 80
8080 } oversize_dir_length 500 no_alerts
#               ports { 80 8080 } \
#               oversize_dir_length 500 \
#               no_alerts
#               no_alerts
#               flow_depth 300 \
#               ascii no \
#               multi_slash no \
#               chunk_length 1000000000000 \
#               apache_whitespace yes \
#               utf_8 no \
#               non_strict  \
#               directory no

Greetings
Sascha

I've got 71. Can you explain the '22' thing? I'm not getting idea of
your counting...

Take a look at the article by Richard Bejtlich:
Thanks for that link. It answers my second qestion:
"Don't be confused by the line "0 Dynamic rules." Dynamic in this case
refers to Dynamic/Activate rules, which are being phased out in favor
of a combination of tagging and flowbits."

And then suit yourself with some drinks as so_rules were already
discussed in [snort-users]. Cheers! ;)
Hmmm....beer. But - not yet. I still am curios about the rule count
before and after the compilation. I hope i'm not annoying.

The rules in the tarball are about 75, after compiling and stub'ing 'em,
there are only 22 left. I just wanted to know on what exactly that
resulting number depends (platform-, systemspecific?). The precompiled
librariers are crashing, so switching to them and all the 75 rules is no
option.


Thanks in advance, Chris.

What is the snort/httpinspect startup output about that?
I suggest you to read the manual oder README for the http-inspect, as
this preproc with it's profiles can be confusing sometimes.

the second problem is how can i deactivate oversize_cunk_encoding ?
In the corresponding server profile or in the new prerpoc.rules
(HI-CLIENT*), i guess.


bye, Chris.

The unchanged *.rules in the snortrules-snapshot-current tarball:
(i guess these are to be used with the precompiled libraries)

/etc/snort/rules/src/so_rules# cat *.rules | grep -v skeleton | wc -l
75


After the make, witch generates the librariers and stub rule files in
./src, i've only 22 rules in the usable stub files:

/etc/snort/rules/src/so_rules# cat ./src/*.rules | grep -v skeleton | wc -l
22

So, i think can only use a subset of 22 rules out of 75...
