Description

Processing all of the attached pcaps and rules (all contain one or two rules and a generally on or two tcp sessions). These all appear to be valid http sessions but we don't seem to properly identify them as http traffic or fire on the attached rules. Snort however does.

src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2008396.rule -r 2008396.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http
src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2008469.rule -r 2008469.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http
src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2009237.rule -r 2009237.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http
src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2009354.rule -r 2009354.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http
src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2009471.rule -r 2009471.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http
src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2009526.rule -r 2009526.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http
src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2009539.rule -r 2009539.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http
src/suricata -c suricata.yaml -s 2010973.rule -r 2010973.pcap -l ./ not seen as valid http

all result in ...

Seems that all of these are fixed in the current master or we now have an explanation for missed detection with the exception of following sid.

2009471

We still seem to miss on this rule, when it appears to me that we should fire.
