Re: preprocessor file_inspect does not capture file

Hmm..just for testing purposes, calculate the sha256 hashes of the files, and add the hashes to the black list, and 
then re-run Snort.

Another thing to try is to use "-k none" when running Snort to read the pcap.

    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

  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

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!
