Snorby needs to be using the sid-msg.map that pulledpork produces, you also
need to be sure that you have your pulledpork configured to generate a
version 1 (one) sid-msg.map as I do not think that Snorby is compatible
with the new version that was designed for use with Barnyard.

Sorry for the encrypted mail which was recently sent by mistake. My
apologies.



What I was saying was - which configuration file does Snorby refer in
which the sid-msg.map file is specified?

Looks like Snorby is not reading from the correct sid-msg.map file.

Hi,



I am observing that an event shown in the snort terminal window appears in
the Snorby console with a different description. Kindly see below output in
the terminal window and *refer attachment* for same event how it appears
in Snorby. This event appears in Snorby as “ssh: Gobbles exploit”. SIG &
GID is same for both.



Has anybody encountered this issue?



*Snort terminal window*



[**] [128:1:1] (spp_ssh) Challenge-Response Overflow exploit [**]

I have recently upgraded from Snort version 2.9.5 to 2.9.6.1 (it was
compiled from source). After upgrade I have replaced the older version of
files classification.config, gen.msg.map, reference.config & unicode.map.
Am I missing something which is causing this issue?



I use pulledpork version 0.7.0 to update my rules. I update text based
rules & so_rules with pulledpork. I use barnyard 2.1.9 (Build 263) - XFF
patch (version 2). I am using mysql  ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.73, for
redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1.



Let me know in case any other information regarding my setup is needed.



Thanks.





Regards,

Anshuman
