Re: Snort with ERSPAN

Snort should handle version 1 / type 2 as shown in that link.  If you have
version 1 / type 1, that isn¹t supported currently.  We can look into that.

Just to confirm, do you have type 1 as defined here?

I've been doing this by using rcdcap to decode the ERSPAN packets.

Good Morning,

We are trying to test Snort with ERSPAN version 1 and type 1, Snort
absolutely does not detect anything. I can manually take off first 38
bytes using "editcap" utility and run the PCAP through Snort with
positive hits.

My question is, is there a way to configure/compile snort to skip first
38 bytes while inspecting a traffic? Unfortunately, I cannot share a
sample PCAP per organization policy.
