Awesome.

Just to clarify, I'm not in the snort team, just another person on the list, though, all credits goes to them.

Thank snort team a thousand thousand tons, option '-k none' makes snort works like a charm

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 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/ /

Thanks

    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!
