Re: [SUSPICIOUS] how to set paf_max unlimited to get all of the http response between <html> and </html> in single stream

Hello,

                Have you tried using flowbits? You could try setting a flowbit if the first content is seen then create 
another rule to check for that flowbit and alert if the second content is there.


http://manual.snort.org/node470.html


From the manual:
“The flowbits keyword is used in conjunction with conversation tracking from the Stream preprocessor (see Section[*]). 
It allows rules to track states during a transport protocol session. The flowbits option is most useful for TCP 
sessions, as it allows rules to generically track the state of an application protocol”



Checkout the README.flowbits for examples.


Sample Rules
------------
alert tcp any 143 -> any any (msg:"IMAP login"; content:"OK LOGIN"; flowbits:set,logged_in;)
alert tcp any any -> any 143 (msg:"IMAP lsub"; content:"LSUB"; flowbits:isset,logged_in;)
alert tcp any any -> any 143 (msg:"IMAP LIST WITHOUT LOGIN"; content:"LIST"; flowbits:isnotset,logged_in;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"JPG transfer"; content:".JPG"; nocase; flowbits:set,http.jpg,file_type;)

Subject: [SUSPICIOUS] [Snort-users] how to set paf_max unlimited to get all of the http response between <html> and 
</html> in single stream

Hi.
   I have enabled TCP reassembly in snort.conf and have set paf_max to 63780 but my pcap to be analyzed contains 
response of bytes greater than 100000 and  we can find two contents which must come in 63780 but my content_no.1 is in 
first 63780 and content_no.2 is in 2nd chunk of bytes got after flushing.So my rule is not generating alert, how can i 
fix this issue and make it unlimited.
I have attached snort.conf.
