Re: snort DCE/RPC reassemble_threshold

[Ryan Jordan <ryan.jordan () sourcefire com>]

Hi Larry,

The README.dcerpc that you linked was tied to the old dcerpc
preprocessor, which we removed in Snort 2.9.0. We replaced it with
dcerpc2 a couple years ago, whose README you can find here:
http://cvs.snort.org/viewcvs.cgi/snort/doc/README.dcerpc2

> From the README:
    reassemble_threshold
        Specifies a minimum number of bytes in the DCE/RPC desegmentation and
        defragmentation buffers before creating a reassembly packet to send to
        the detection engine. This option is useful in inline mode so as to
        potentially catch an exploit early before full defragmentation is done.
        A value of 0 supplied as an argument to this option will, in effect,
        disable this option.  Default is disabled.
