3.Click in a checkbox to select the preprocessor desired option:
Option | Description |
Perform IP defragmentation | The IP defragmentation preprocessor uses memory management routines |
| that are used in other parts of Snort. It uses the default memory limit of |
| 4194304 bytes (4 MB) and a timeout period of 60 seconds. The timeout |
| period is used to determine a length of time that a unassembled fragment |
| should be discarded. |
Perform RPC Traffic | Normalizes rpc multiple fragmented records into a single unfragmented |
| record. It does this by normalizing the packet into the packet buffer. if |
| stream4 is enabled, it will only process client side traffic. It defaults to |
| running on ports 111 and 32771I. |
Normalize Telnet Negotiation stings | Allows Snort to normalize Telnet control protocol characters from the |
| session data. It accepts a list of ports to run on as arguments. Also, it |
| normalizes into a separate data buffer from the packet itself so that the |
| raw data may be logged or examined with the raw bytes content. |
