Hi Evalues,

snort on localhost fire for me,

ok please look my example:
 dig @127.0.0.1 version.bind chaos txt

tcpdump recorded on "-i lo":
21:53:27.575913 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 62830, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 69)
    127.0.0.1.56870 > 127.0.0.1.53: [bad udp cksum 0xfe44 -> 0xda9e!] 64696+ [1au] TXT CHAOS? version.bind. ar: . OPT 
UDPsize=4096 (41)

snort output v2.9.5.6 :
12/11-21:53:27.575913  [**] [116:151:1] (snort decoder) WARNING: Bad Traffic Same Src/Dst IP [**] [Classification:

[Priority: 2] {UDP} 127.0.0.1:56870 -> 127.0.0.1:53

For my example, I must disable cksum verif (-k none).

Could you check if you need "-k none" please?

Hi, when I set Snort to listen in Loopback interface it doesn’t trigger alerts for UDP rules. The same rules in eth0 
interface work perfectly. Besides, TCP and ICMP alerts also work in Loopback interface.

If I run Snort in sniffer mode I can view the datagram, but the alerts are not triggered. This is an example of an SNMP 
datagram that should raise an alert:
