Those are preprocessor events for Stream5 (GID:129). See the preprocessor.rules file. You can disable them there if you like.



Have you setup your home_net and external_net variables correctly?

Subject: [Snort-users] Too much of snort events



Hi guys!

Please give me an advice, sorry I'm a newbie here.

So I have Snort+Barnyard2+PulledPork+Aanval (as web siem)

It works correctly. I found a lot of alerts with gen_id 129, sig_id 12 and gen_id 129, sig_id 4 and suppress them (it's not informative). I found them in Aanval and it's trying to upload whole mysql DB.

But there are still too much alerts ~ 30events per second and it's nearly 800k events per day.

How can I more understand what are the events generating ?

Thanks.
