Re: preprocessor file_inspect does not capture file

I tried many times, add, remove every options: type_id, signature to test if preprocessor can detect something but no luck, nothing in snort exit stat.
    The nearest test result with type_id, signature on:
    - configuration I tried:
    exactly like document:

/preprocessor file_inspect: type_id, signature, \//
//                capture_disk /home/file_capture/tmp/, \//
//                capture_queue_size 5000/

    - snort say that file_inspect maybe good:
/File config://
//    file type: ENABLED//
//    file signature: ENABLED//
//    file capture: ENABLED//
//    file capture directory: /home/file_capture/tmp///
//    file capture disk size: 300 (Default) megabytes//
//    file sent to host: DISABLED (Default), port number: 0//
//
//    File service: file type enabled.//
//    File service: file signature enabled.//
//    File service: file capture enabled.//
//    File capture thread started tid=0x7f5add080700 (pid=20478)/

- After uploading, downloading a pdf, a pcap, and a zip file, exit stats are:
/   File Preprocessor Statistics//
//  Total file type callbacks:            0//
//  Total file signature callbacks:       0//
//  Total files would saved to disk:      0//

Do you have file type and file signature enabled? For instance, I don't see the type_id in the preprocessor configurations you posted.

Documentation says that capturing depends on type and signature being enabled, I.e: Unknown file types will not be captured.

Hi YM,
file_captrue_min and file_capture_max is set with default value, 0 and 1GB. the path in capture_disk exist with full permission (I set to 777 for testing). README.file says that with block of config which I posted, snort can capture any file, but in my case, it does not work. I tried using signature in file_magic.conf to write a normal rule, snort detect ok, and with keyword tag, i can even capture all file in tcpdump.

    I haven't played enough with the file_inspect preprocessor but
    what is the size of the file in relation to things like
    "file_capture_min", "file_capture_max"?

    Also, does the path in "capture_disk" exist?

    Finally, as far as I understand, only those files that have their
    hashes in the black or grey lists will be captured. Please anyone,
    correct me if I am wrong.

    Hi everybody,
    I had problem when using file_inspect to capture file send over
    FTP. Please help me resolv. Here's my Snort info:
    - Server OS:
    $cat /etc/redhat-release
    CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
    - Snort version: 2.9.7.6, build options: --enable-file-inspect
    --enable-open-appid --enable-sourcefire
    - configuration file:
    exactly from snortrules-snapshot-2976.tar.gz, add file_inspect
    config as discuss in README.file:
    include file_magic.conf
    preprocessor file_inspect: signature, \
    capture_queue_size 5000, \
    capture_disk /home/file_capture/tmp/

    Snort does not detect or process any file, here's my exit stat:
    File Preprocessor Statistics
    Total file type callbacks: 0
    Total file signature callbacks: 0
    Total files would saved to disk: 0
    Total files saved to disk: 0
    Total file data saved to disk: 0 bytes
    Total files duplicated: 0
    Total files reserving failed: 0
    Total file capture min: 0
    Total file capture max: 0
    Total file capture memcap: 0
    Total files reading failed: 0
    Total file agent memcap failures: 0
    Total files sent: 0
    Total file data sent: 0
    Total file transfer failures: 0
    ===============================================================================

    Files processed: none

    I tried to build snort v2.9.7.0, 2.9.6.2 and latest 2.9.8.0 but no
    luck. Please help me!

    Thanks and best regards!
