Re: [snort-devel] Chainning pre-processors

From: Hui Cao <hcao () sourcefire com>

Frag3 will deal with IP fragmentation. You might want reassembled data from TCP. This means your preprocessor should be after stream and you should check (SFSnortPacket*)ipacketp)->flags & FLAG_REBUILT_STREAM. Snort will only reassemble up to the flush point defined (typically 16K). You can't expect snort will give all the data from one reassembled packet.
Fragmentation from wireshark might mean TCP segmentation. You might get full IP packets. 

Best,
Hui.

Hui,
yes, I understood what you told me about filtering just the de-fragmented packets, that's why I added these 3 lines: 

SFSnortPacket *p = (SFSnortPacket *)pkt;
int fla = (p->flags & FLAG_REBUILT_FRAG);
_dpd.logMsg("Flags set? %d",fla);
But I generate fragmented packets (which for instance Wireshark detects and show as fragmented and the possibility of reassembly them) and I'm always getting with each one the output: "Flags set? 0". 

I receive all the fragmented packets, but not the last one reassembled.

Regards,
Emiliano.

    It will still get all packets including the raw packets. You need to
    use packet flags to filter them.

    Best,
    Hui.
