Great,

so, the pre-processors are "chained" by default, and the order that SNORT follows to call them is set by the PRIORITY variable.

Do you know where's defined this PRIORITY variable? Because I saw that the frag3 is being registered with PRIORITY_NETWORK, so I'd like to set the priority of my own preprocessor as (PRIORITY_NETWORK -1).

Thanks in advance,
Emiliano

    sc means snort configuration. We use PRIORITY to sort the
    processing. All processors enabled will be called and processed
    based on priority. You have to rely on the code to figure out what
    exactly snort does.

    The checking is correct. You will only process rebuilt packets.

    Hello Hui,

    thanks a lot for your answer.

    Right now I have registered my preprocessor (let's call it
    examplePreprocess as you said, because right now I'm using the
    one provided with the DPX) with this line:

    _dpd.addPreproc(ExampleProcess, PRIORITY_TRANSPORT, 10000,
    PROTO_BIT__TCP);

    So, the only change is to add previous to the parameter
    ExampleProcess, the "sc". What does it mean? Do you know if
    there's any documentation about this chaining preprocesses?

    So, checking the flags, should be:

    (SFSnortPacket*)tcppacket)->flags & FLAG_REBUILT_FRAG

    right?

    Thanks again!
    Emiliano.



    Then, I'll have to register my own preprocessor where?


    2013/12/4 Hui Cao <hcao () sourcefire com <mailto:hcao () sourcefire com>>

        Yes, it is possible. You can register you preprocessor like this:

        _dpd.addPreproc( sc, ExampleProcess, PRIORITY_TRANSPORT,
        You_PP_ID, PROTO_BIT__IP );

        Remember check the following flag in your ExampleProcess:

        (SFSnortPacket*)ipacketp)->flags & FLAG_REBUILT_FRAG

        Best,
        Hui.

        Hi everybody,

        I'm creating a new preprocessor which needs to have the
        whole content in a packet which was fragmented.

        So I thought of using the frag3 preprocessor to re-assembly
        the packets, and then, when this reassembly is done, sent it
        to my own preprocessor.

        Do you know if this is possible? May I have the output of
        frag3 being the input of my own preprocessor?

        Regards,
        Emiliano.
