Re: Snort3 Plugin DPX only get a small amount of packets

DPX is set to receive udp only by default. Update PROTO_BIT__UDP to PROTO_BIT__ANY_TYPE.

Stream performs its reassembly and sends generated PDUs (passed via Packet*) to DetectionEngine::inspect(), which runs 
all of the relavent inspectors followed by rule evaluation, just as with wire packets. Inspectors looking for 
stream-reassembled data will request PROTO_BIT__PDU.

Hey guys,



Any idea how snort passes packets to plugin inspectors?

I read that Stream inspector is responsible for TCP reassembly, so is it also passing packets to other inspectors after 
reassembly of packets?



Thanks

Li

Hi,



I run the snort3 plugin but only got 80 packets in my plugin. The total amount of packet in summary is 2739.

The question is why I can only got 80 packets instead of all packets in the pcap file.

I am not sure what's the mechanism in Snort3 to pass packets to different components.



The eval function in my plugin is just one line:

void Dpx::eval(Packet* p)
{
    ++dpxstats.total_packets;
}


The output showed that there are only 80 packets passed to the dpx:


--------------------------------------------------
dpx
                  packets: 80
--------------------------------------------------


The command I run is:
