Is there any known issues with Snortsnarf 020516.1 and Snort 1.9.0?

Yes.

Soon, I'm going to be getting a new version of SnortSnarf together to address the issues folks have been having with the output coming out of Snort 1.9. (Some of these problems are due to bugs in Snort, but I'll try to work around them.)

I know some folks have already sent me information, but in order to make sure my coverage is complete enough, can folks tell me (in private e-mail, not to this list) what output format (e.g., fast alert format) SnortSnarf is having problems with and if possible some specific problem alerts.

Thank you,

  Jim


Since upgrading to 1.9.0 I get a lot of errors when parsing the alerts file.

Here is the command I use

perl /home/snort/SnortSnarf/snortsnarf.pl /var/log/snort/alert


and here are some example errors

unknown alert format for line: TCP Options (4) => MSS: 1460 NOP NOP SackOK
; skipping
unknown alert format for line: TCP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:6512 IpLen:20
DgmLen:60 DF; skipping
unknown alert format for line: ******S* Seq: 0x700AFBA3  Ack: 0x0  Win:

; skipping
unknown alert format for line: TCP Options (5) => MSS: 1460 SackOK TS:

; skipping
unknown alert format for line: UDP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:0 IpLen:20 DgmLen:72 DF
; skipping
unknown alert format for line: Len: 52
; skipping
unknown alert format for line: UDP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:0 IpLen:20 DgmLen:82 DF
; skipping
unknown alert format for line: Len: 62
; skipping

Thanks
