Suricata

btw:
i have tried 4.1.x and 4.0.x versions and i have tried every runmode (pfring、pcap、afpacket) all can't works well for me

here is my conf

1. Step 2: select the rules to enable or disable ##

1. - emerging-activex.rules
2. - decoder-events.rules # available in suricata sources under rules dir
3. - stream-events.rules # available in suricata sources under rules dir
4. - modbus-events.rules # available in suricata sources under rules dir
5. - app-layer-events.rules # available in suricata sources under rules dir

1. threshold-file: /usr/local/suricata4/etc/suricata/threshold.config

1. Step 3: select outputs to enable ##

1. The default logging directory. Any log or output file will be
2. placed here if its not specified with a full path name. This can be
3. overridden with the -l command line parameter.
   default-log-dir: /data/public/suricata4.0.5/log

1. global stats configuration
   stats:
   enabled: yes # The interval field (in seconds) controls at what interval # the loggers are invoked.
   interval: 8

1. Configure the type of alert (and other) logging you would like.
   outputs: # a line based alerts log similar to Snort's fast.log
   - fast:
   enabled: no
   filename: fast.log
   append: yes
   #filetype: regular # 'regular', 'unix_stream' or 'unix_dgram'

      key: suricata ## key or channel to use (default to suricata) # Redis pipelining set up. This will enable to only do a query every # 'batch-size' events. This should lower the latency induced by network # connection at the cost of some memory. There is no flushing implemented # so this setting as to be reserved to high traffic suricata.
      pipelining:
      enabled: yes ## set enable to yes to enable query pipelining
      batch-size: 100 ## number of entry to keep in buffer
      types:

      1. Enable the logging of tagged packets for rules using the # "tag" keyword.
         tagged-packets: yes
      2. alerts: yes # log alerts that caused drops
      3. flows: all # start or all: 'start' logs only a single drop
      4. # per flow direction. All logs each dropped pkt.
      5. - smtp:

         #md5: [body, subject]
      1. HTTP X-Forwarded-For support by adding an extra field or overwriting
      2. the source or destination IP address (depending on flow direction)
      3. with the one reported in the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header. This is
      4. helpful when reviewing alerts for traffic that is being reverse
      5. or forward proxied.
         xff:
         enabled: yes # Two operation modes are available, "extra-data" and "overwrite".
         mode: extra-data # Two proxy deployments are supported, "reverse" and "forward". In # a "reverse" deployment the IP address used is the last one, in a # "forward" deployment the first IP address is used.

         header: X-Forwarded-For
         #- http:
         #extended: no # enable this for extended logging information
      6. custom allows additional http fields to be included in eve-log
      7. the example below adds three additional fields when uncommented
         #custom: [Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Authorization]
         #- dns:
      8. control logging of queries and answers
      9. default yes, no to disable

          #- tls:
          #extended: no # enable this for extended logging information
      12. output TLS transaction where the session is resumed using a
      13. session id
          #session-resumption: no
      14. custom allows to control which tls fields that are included
      15. in eve-log
          #custom: [subject, issuer, session_resumed, serial, fingerprint, sni, version, not_before, not_after, certificate, chain]

      2. totals: no # stats for all threads merged together
      3. threads: no # per thread stats
      4. deltas: no # include delta values
      5. bi-directional flows
      6. - flow
      7. uni-directional flows
         #- netflow
      8. Vars log flowbits and other packet and flow vars
         #- vars
   1. alert output for use with Barnyard2
      - unified2-alert:
      enabled: no
      filename: unified2.alert
      1. File size limit. Can be specified in kb, mb, gb. Just a number
      2. is parsed as bytes.
         #limit: 32mb
      1. By default unified2 log files have the file creation time (in
      2. unix epoch format) appended to the filename. Set this to yes to
      3. disable this behaviour.
         #nostamp: no
      1. Sensor ID field of unified2 alerts.
         #sensor-id: 0
      1. Include payload of packets related to alerts. Defaults to true, set to
      2. false if payload is not required.
         #payload: yes
      1. HTTP X-Forwarded-For support by adding the unified2 extra header or
      2. overwriting the source or destination IP address (depending on flow
      3. direction) with the one reported in the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header.
      4. This is helpful when reviewing alerts for traffic that is being reverse
      5. or forward proxied.
         xff:
         enabled: no # Two operation modes are available, "extra-data" and "overwrite". Note # that in the "overwrite" mode, if the reported IP address in the HTTP # X-Forwarded-For header is of a different version of the packet # received, it will fall-back to "extra-data" mode.
         mode: extra-data # Two proxy deployments are supported, "reverse" and "forward". In # a "reverse" deployment the IP address used is the last one, in a # "forward" deployment the first IP address is used.

         header: X-Forwarded-For
   1. a line based log of HTTP requests (no alerts)
      - http-log:
      enabled: no
      filename: http.log
      append: yes
      #extended: yes # enable this for extended logging information
      #custom: yes # enabled the custom logging format (defined by customformat)
      #customformat: "%{%D-%H:%M:%S}t.%z %{X-Forwarded-For}i %H %m %h %u %s %B %a:%p -> %A:%P"

   1. Packet log... log packets in pcap format. 3 modes of operation: "normal"
   2. "multi" and "sguil". #
   3. In normal mode a pcap file "filename" is created in the default-log-dir,
   4. or are as specified by "dir".
   5. In multi mode, a file is created per thread. This will perform much
   6. better, but will create multiple files where 'normal' would create one.
   7. In multi mode the filename takes a few special variables:
   8. - %n -- thread number
   9. - %i -- thread id
   10. - %t -- timestamp (secs or secs.usecs based on 'ts-format'
   11. E.g. filename: pcap.%n.%t #
   12. Note that it's possible to use directories, but the directories are not
   13. created by Suricata. E.g. filename: pcaps/%n/log.%s will log into the
   14. per thread directory. #
   15. Also note that the limit and max-files settings are enforced per thread.
   16. So the size limit when using 8 threads with 1000mb files and 2000 files
   17. is: 8*1000*2000 ~ 16TiB. #
   18. In Sguil mode "dir" indicates the base directory. In this base dir the
   19. pcaps are created in th directory structure Sguil expects: #
   20. $sguil-base-dir/YYYY-MM-DD/$filename.<timestamp> #
   21. By default all packets are logged except:
   22. - TCP streams beyond stream.reassembly.depth
   23. - encrypted streams after the key exchange #
       - pcap-log:
       enabled: yes
       filename: log.pcap
       1. File size limit. Can be specified in kb, mb, gb. Just a number
       2. is parsed as bytes.
          limit: 1000mb
       1. If set to a value will enable ring buffer mode. Will keep Maximum of "max-files" of size "limit"
          max-files: 2000

       mode: normal # normal, multi or sguil.

       1. Directory to place pcap files. If not provided the default log
       2. directory will be used. Required for "sguil" mode.
          #dir: /nsm_data/

       #ts-format: usec # sec or usec second format (default) is filename.sec usec is filename.sec.usec
       use-stream-depth: no #If set to "yes" packets seen after reaching stream inspection depth are ignored. "no" logs all packets
       honor-pass-rules: no # If set to "yes", flows in which a pass rule matched will stopped being logged.

   1. a full alerts log containing much information for signature writers
   2. or for investigating suspected false positives.
      - alert-debug:
      enabled: no
      filename: alert-debug.log
      append: yes

      enabled: no
      profile: suricata
      log-packet-content: no
      log-packet-header: yes
   1. Stats.log contains data from various counters of the suricata engine.
      - stats:
      enabled: yes
      filename: stats.log
      append: yes # append to file (yes) or overwrite it (no)
      totals: yes # stats for all threads merged together
      threads: no # per thread stats
      #null-values: yes # print counters that have value 0
   1. a line based alerts log similar to fast.log into syslog
      - syslog:
      enabled: no # reported identity to syslog. If ommited the program name (usually # suricata) will be used.

   1. output module to store extracted files to disk #
   2. The files are stored to the log-dir in a format "file.<id>" where <id> is
   3. an incrementing number starting at 1. For each file "file.<id>" a meta
   4. file "file.<id>.meta" is created. #
   5. File extraction depends on a lot of things to be fully done:
   6. - file-store stream-depth. For optimal results, set this to 0 (unlimited)
   7. - http request / response body sizes. Again set to 0 for optimal results.
   8. - rules that contain the "filestore" keyword.

      2. sha1 and sha256
         #force-hash: [md5]
   1. Log TCP data after stream normalization
   2. 2 types: file or dir. File logs into a single logfile. Dir creates
   3. 2 files per TCP session and stores the raw TCP data into them.
   4. Using 'both' will enable both file and dir modes. #
   5. Note: limited by stream.depth
      - tcp-data:
      enabled: no
      type: file
      filename: tcp-data.log
   1. Log HTTP body data after normalization, dechunking and unzipping.
   2. 2 types: file or dir. File logs into a single logfile. Dir creates

1. Step 4: configure common capture settings ##
2. See "Advanced Capture Options" below for more options, including NETMAP
3. and PF_RING. ##

1. Linux high speed capture support
   af-packet:
   - interface: p4p2 # Number of receive threads. "auto" uses the number of cores
   #threads: auto # Default clusterid. AF_PACKET will load balance packets based on flow.
   cluster-id: 97 # Default AF_PACKET cluster type. AF_PACKET can load balance per flow or per hash. # This is only supported for Linux kernel > 3.1 # possible value are: # * cluster_round_robin: round robin load balancing # * cluster_flow: all packets of a given flow are send to the same socket # * cluster_cpu: all packets treated in kernel by a CPU are send to the same socket # * cluster_qm: all packets linked by network card to a RSS queue are sent to the same # socket. Requires at least Linux 3.14. # * cluster_random: packets are sent randomly to sockets but with an equipartition. # Requires at least Linux 3.14. # * cluster_rollover: kernel rotates between sockets filling each socket before moving # to the next. Requires at least Linux 3.10. # Recommended modes are cluster_flow on most boxes and cluster_cpu or cluster_qm on system # with capture card using RSS (require cpu affinity tuning and system irq tuning)
   cluster-type: cluster_flow # In some fragmentation case, the hash can not be computed. If "defrag" is set # to yes, the kernel will do the needed defragmentation before sending the packets.
   defrag: yes # After Linux kernel 3.10 it is possible to activate the rollover option: if a socket is # full then kernel will send the packet on the next socket with room available. This option # can minimize packet drop and increase the treated bandwidth on single intensive flow.
   #rollover: yes # To use the ring feature of AF_PACKET, set 'use-mmap' to yes
   use-mmap: no # Lock memory map to avoid it goes to swap. Be careful that over suscribing could lock # your system
   #mmap-locked: yes # Use tpacket_v3 capture mode, only active if use-mmap is true # Don't use it in IPS or TAP mode as it causes severe latency
   #tpacket-v3: yes # Ring size will be computed with respect to max_pending_packets and number # of threads. You can set manually the ring size in number of packets by setting # the following value. If you are using flow cluster-type and have really network # intensive single-flow you could want to set the ring-size independently of the number # of threads:
   ring-size: 204800 # Block size is used by tpacket_v3 only. It should set to a value high enough to contain # a decent number of packets. Size is in bytes so please consider your MTU. It should be # a power of 2 and it must be multiple of page size (usually 4096).
   #block-size: 32768 # tpacket_v3 block timeout: an open block is passed to userspace if it is not # filled after block-timeout milliseconds.
   #block-timeout: 10 # On busy system, this could help to set it to yes to recover from a packet drop # phase. This will result in some packets (at max a ring flush) being non treated.
   #use-emergency-flush: yes # recv buffer size, increase value could improve performance
   buffer-size: 327680 # Set to yes to disable promiscuous mode # disable-promisc: no # Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment # of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to # offloading to the network card of the checksum computation. # Possible values are: # - kernel: use indication sent by kernel for each packet (default) # - yes: checksum validation is forced # - no: checksum validation is disabled # - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when # checksum off-loading is used. # Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
   #checksum-checks: kernel # BPF filter to apply to this interface. The pcap filter syntax apply here.
   #bpf-filter: port 80 or udp # You can use the following variables to activate AF_PACKET tap or IPS mode. # If copy-mode is set to ips or tap, the traffic coming to the current # interface will be copied to the copy-iface interface.

1. Step 5: App Layer Protocol Configuration ##

1. Configure the app-layer parsers. The protocols section details each
2. protocol. #
3. The option "enabled" takes 3 values - "yes", "no", "detection-only".
4. "yes" enables both detection and the parser, "no" disables both, and
5. "detection-only" enables protocol detection only (parser disabled).
   app-layer:
   protocols:
   tls:
   enabled: no
   detection-ports:
   dp: 443
   1. Completely stop processing TLS/SSL session after the handshake # completed. If bypass is enabled this will also trigger flow # bypass. If disabled (the default), TLS/SSL session is still # tracked for Heartbleed and other anomalies.
      #no-reassemble: yes
      dcerpc:
      enabled: no
      ftp:
      enabled: no

   25. by http_uri, urilen, pcre with /U and the other
   26. keywords that inspect the normalized uri.
   27. Note that this does not affect http_raw_uri.

1. Advanced settings below ## ##############################################################################

1. Run Options ##

1. Run suricata as user and group.
   #run-as:
2. user: suri
3. group: suri

1. Some logging module will use that name in event as identifier. The default
2. value is the hostname
   #sensor-name: suricata

1. Default location of the pid file. The pid file is only used in
2. daemon mode (start Suricata with -D). If not running in daemon mode
3. the --pidfile command line option must be used to create a pid file.
   #pid-file: /usr/local/suricata4/var/run/suricata.pid

1. Daemon working directory
2. Suricata will change directory to this one if provided
3. Default: "/"
   #daemon-directory: "/"

1. Suricata core dump configuration. Limits the size of the core dump file to
2. approximately max-dump. The actual core dump size will be a multiple of the
3. page size. Core dumps that would be larger than max-dump are truncated. On
4. Linux, the actual core dump size may be a few pages larger than max-dump.
5. Setting max-dump to 0 disables core dumping.
6. Setting max-dump to 'unlimited' will give the full core dump file.
7. On 32-bit Linux, a max-dump value >= ULONG_MAX may cause the core dump size
8. to be 'unlimited'.

coredump:
max-dump: unlimited

1. If suricata box is a router for the sniffed networks, set it to 'router'. If
2. it is a pure sniffing setup, set it to 'sniffer-only'.
3. If set to auto, the variable is internally switch to 'router' in IPS mode
4. and 'sniffer-only' in IDS mode.
5. This feature is currently only used by the reject* keywords.
   host-mode: auto

1. Number of packets preallocated per thread. The default is 1024. A higher number
2. will make sure each CPU will be more easily kept busy, but may negatively
3. impact caching. #
4. If you are using the CUDA pattern matcher (mpm-algo: ac-cuda), different rules
5. apply. In that case try something like 60000 or more. This is because the CUDA
6. pattern matcher buffers and scans as many packets as possible in parallel.
   max-pending-packets: 60000

1. Runmode the engine should use. Please check --list-runmodes to get the available
2. runmodes for each packet acquisition method. Defaults to "autofp" (auto flow pinned
3. load balancing).
   runmode: workers

1. Specifies the kind of flow load balancer used by the flow pinned autofp mode. #
2. Supported schedulers are: #
3. round-robin - Flows assigned to threads in a round robin fashion.
4. active-packets - Flows assigned to threads that have the lowest number of
5. unprocessed packets (default).
6. hash - Flow alloted usihng the address hash. More of a random
7. technique. Was the default in Suricata 1.2.1 and older. #
   #autofp-scheduler: active-packets

1. Preallocated size for packet. Default is 1514 which is the classical
2. size for pcap on ethernet. You should adjust this value to the highest
3. packet size (MTU + hardware header) on your system.
   default-packet-size: 1522

1. Unix command socket can be used to pass commands to suricata.
2. An external tool can then connect to get information from suricata
3. or trigger some modifications of the engine. Set enabled to yes
4. to activate the feature. In auto mode, the feature will only be
5. activated in live capture mode. You can use the filename variable to set
6. the file name of the socket.
   unix-command:
   enabled: auto
   #filename: custom.socket

1. Magic file. The extension .mgc is added to the value here.
   #magic-file: /usr/share/file/magic
   #magic-file:

legacy:
uricontent: enabled

1. Detection settings ##

1. Set the order of alerts bassed on actions
2. The default order is pass, drop, reject, alert
3. action-order:
4. - pass
5. - drop
6. - reject
7. - alert

1. IP Reputation
   #reputation-categories-file: /usr/local/suricata4/etc/suricata/iprep/categories.txt
   #default-reputation-path: /usr/local/suricata4/etc/suricata/iprep
   #reputation-files:
2. - reputation.list

1. When run with the option --engine-analysis, the engine will read each of
2. the parameters below, and print reports for each of the enabled sections
3. and exit. The reports are printed to a file in the default log dir
4. given by the parameter "default-log-dir", with engine reporting
5. subsection below printing reports in its own report file.
   engine-analysis: # enables printing reports for fast-pattern for every rule.
   rules-fast-pattern: yes # enables printing reports for each rule
   rules: yes

#recursion and match limits for PCRE where supported

1. Advanced Traffic Tracking and Reconstruction Settings ##

1. Host specific policies for defragmentation and TCP stream
2. reassembly. The host OS lookup is done using a radix tree, just
3. like a routing table so the most specific entry matches.

defrag:
memcap: 512mb
hash-size: 65536
trackers: 65535 # number of defragmented flows to follow
max-frags: 65535 # number of fragments to keep (higher than trackers)
prealloc: yes
timeout: 60

1. Enable defrag per host settings
2. host-config: #
3. - dmz:
4. timeout: 30
5. address: [192.168.1.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8, 1.1.1.0/24, 2.2.2.0/24, "1.1.1.1", "2.2.2.2", "::1"] #

10. - 192.168.10.0/24
11. - 172.16.14.0/24

1. Flow settings:
2. By default, the reserved memory (memcap) for flows is 32MB. This is the limit
3. for flow allocation inside the engine. You can change this value to allow
4. more memory usage for flows.
5. The hash-size determine the size of the hash used to identify flows inside
6. the engine, and by default the value is 65536.
7. At the startup, the engine can preallocate a number of flows, to get a better
8. performance. The number of flows preallocated is 10000 by default.
9. emergency-recovery is the percentage of flows that the engine need to
10. prune before unsetting the emergency state. The emergency state is activated
11. when the memcap limit is reached, allowing to create new flows, but
12. prunning them with the emergency timeouts (they are defined below).
13. If the memcap is reached, the engine will try to prune flows
14. with the default timeouts. If it doens't find a flow to prune, it will set
15. the emergency bit and it will try again with more agressive timeouts.
16. If that doesn't work, then it will try to kill the last time seen flows
17. not in use.
18. The memcap can be specified in kb, mb, gb. Just a number indicates it's
19. in bytes.

flow:
memcap: 1gb
hash-size: 1048576
prealloc: 1048576
emergency-recovery: 30
#managers: 1 # default to one flow manager
#recyclers: 1 # default to one flow recycler thread

1. This option controls the use of vlan ids in the flow (and defrag)
2. hashing. Normally this should be enabled, but in some (broken)
3. setups where both sides of a flow are not tagged with the same vlan
4. tag, we can ignore the vlan id's in the flow hashing.
   vlan:
   use-for-tracking: true

1. Specific timeouts for flows. Here you can specify the timeouts that the
2. active flows will wait to transit from the current state to another, on each
3. protocol. The value of "new" determine the seconds to wait after a hanshake or
4. stream startup before the engine free the data of that flow it doesn't
5. change the state to established (usually if we don't receive more packets
6. of that flow). The value of "established" is the amount of
7. seconds that the engine will wait to free the flow if it spend that amount
8. without receiving new packets or closing the connection. "closed" is the
9. amount of time to wait after a flow is closed (usually zero). "bypassed"
10. timeout controls locally bypassed flows. For these flows we don't do any other
11. tracking. If no packets have been seen after this timeout, the flow is discarded. #
12. There's an emergency mode that will become active under attack circumstances,
13. making the engine to check flow status faster. This configuration variables
14. use the prefix "emergency-" and work similar as the normal ones.
15. Some timeouts doesn't apply to all the protocols, like "closed", for udp and
16. icmp.

2. allow us to specify the profile to use for them, to manage memory on an
3. efficient way keeping a good performance. For the profile keyword you
4. can use the words "low", "medium", "high" or "custom". If you use custom
5. make sure to define the values at "- custom-values" as your convenience.
6. Usually you would prefer medium/high/low. #
7. "sgh mpm-context", indicates how the staging should allot mpm contexts for
8. the signature groups. "single" indicates the use of a single context for
9. all the signature group heads. "full" indicates a mpm-context for each
10. group head. "auto" lets the engine decide the distribution of contexts
11. based on the information the engine gathers on the patterns from each
12. group head. #
13. The option inspection-recursion-limit is used to limit the recursive calls
14. in the content inspection code. For certain payload-sig combinations, we
15. might end up taking too much time in the content inspection code.
16. If the argument specified is 0, the engine uses an internally defined
17. default limit. On not specifying a value, we use no limits on the recursion.
    detect:
    profile: custom
    custom-values:
    toclient-groups: 200
    toserver-groups: 200
    sgh-mpm-context: full
    inspection-recursion-limit: 9000 # If set to yes, the loading of signatures will be made after the capture # is started. This will limit the downtime in IPS mode.
    #delayed-detect: yes

    prefilter: # default prefiltering setting. "mpm" only creates MPM/fast_pattern # engines. "auto" also sets up prefilter engines for other keywords. # Use --list-keywords=all to see which keywords support prefiltering.
    default: mpm

    1. the grouping values above control how many groups are created per
    2. direction. Port whitelisting forces that port to get it's own group.
    3. Very common ports will benefit, as well as ports with many expensive
    4. rules.
       grouping:
       #tcp-whitelist: 53, 80, 139, 443, 445, 1433, 3306, 3389, 6666, 6667, 8080
       #udp-whitelist: 53, 135, 5060

    profiling: # Log the rules that made it past the prefilter stage, per packet # default is off. The threshold setting determines how many rules # must have made it past pre-filter for that rule to trigger the # logging.
    #inspect-logging-threshold: 200
    grouping:
    dump-to-disk: false
    include-rules: false # very verbose
    include-mpm-stats: false

1. Select the multi pattern algorithm you want to run for scan/search the
2. in the engine. #
3. The supported algorithms are:
4. "ac" - Aho-Corasick, default implementation
5. "ac-bs" - Aho-Corasick, reduced memory implementation
6. "ac-cuda" - Aho-Corasick, CUDA implementation
7. "ac-ks" - Aho-Corasick, "Ken Steele" variant
8. "hs" - Hyperscan, available when built with Hyperscan support #
9. The default mpm-algo value of "auto" will use "hs" if Hyperscan is
10. available, "ac" otherwise. #
11. The mpm you choose also decides the distribution of mpm contexts for
12. signature groups, specified by the conf - "detect.sgh-mpm-context".
13. Selecting "ac" as the mpm would require "detect.sgh-mpm-context"
14. to be set to "single", because of ac's memory requirements, unless the
15. ruleset is small enough to fit in one's memory, in which case one can
16. use "full" with "ac". Rest of the mpms can be run in "full" mode. #
17. There is also a CUDA pattern matcher (only available if Suricata was
18. compiled with --enable-cuda: b2g_cuda. Make sure to update your
19. max-pending-packets setting above as well if you use b2g_cuda.

mpm-algo: auto

1. Select the matching algorithm you want to use for single-pattern searches. #
2. Supported algorithms are "bm" (Boyer-Moore) and "hs" (Hyperscan, only
3. available if Suricata has been built with Hyperscan support). #
4. The default of "auto" will use "hs" if available, otherwise "bm".

spm-algo: auto

1. Suricata is multi-threaded. Here the threading can be influenced.
   threading:
   set-cpu-affinity: no # Tune cpu affinity of threads. Each family of threads can be bound # on specific CPUs. # # These 2 apply to the all runmodes: # management-cpu-set is used for flow timeout handling, counters # worker-cpu-set is used for 'worker' threads # # Additionally, for autofp these apply: # receive-cpu-set is used for capture threads # verdict-cpu-set is used for IPS verdict threads #
   cpu-affinity:
   - management-cpu-set:
   cpu: [ 0 ] # include only these cpus in affinity settings
   - receive-cpu-set:
   cpu: [ 0 ] # include only these cpus in affinity settings
   - worker-cpu-set:
   cpu: [ "all" ]
   mode: "exclusive" # Use explicitely 3 threads and don't compute number by using # detect-thread-ratio variable: # threads: 3
   prio:
   low: [ 0 ]
   medium: [ "1-2" ]
   high: [ 3 ]
   default: "medium"
   #- verdict-cpu-set: # cpu: [ 0 ] # prio: # default: "high" # # By default Suricata creates one "detect" thread per available CPU/CPU core. # This setting allows controlling this behaviour. A ratio setting of 2 will # create 2 detect threads for each CPU/CPU core. So for a dual core CPU this # will result in 4 detect threads. If values below 1 are used, less threads # are created. So on a dual core CPU a setting of 0.5 results in 1 detect # thread being created. Regardless of the setting at a minimum 1 detect # thread will always be created. #
   detect-thread-ratio: 1.0

1. Luajit has a strange memory requirement, it's 'states' need to be in the
2. first 2G of the process' memory. #
3. 'luajit.states' is used to control how many states are preallocated.
4. State use: per detect script: 1 per detect thread. Per output script: 1 per
5. script.
   luajit:
   states: 128

1. Profiling settings. Only effective if Suricata has been built with the
2. the --enable-profiling configure flag. #
   profiling: # Run profiling for every xth packet. The default is 1, which means we # profile every packet. If set to 1000, one packet is profiled for every # 1000 received.
   #sample-rate: 1000
   1. rule profiling
      rules:
      1. Profiling can be disabled here, but it will still have a
      2. performance impact if compiled in.
         enabled: yes
         filename: rule_perf.log
         append: yes
      1. Sort options: ticks, avgticks, checks, matches, maxticks
      2. If commented out all the sort options will be used.
         #sort: avgticks
      1. Limit the number of sids for which stats are shown at exit (per sort).
         limit: 10
      1. output to json
         json: yes
   1. per keyword profiling
      keywords:
      enabled: yes

   1. per rulegroup profiling
      rulegroups:
      enabled: yes
      filename: rule_group_perf.log
      append: yes
   1. packet profiling
      packets:
      1. Profiling can be disabled here, but it will still have a
      2. performance impact if compiled in.
         enabled: yes
         filename: packet_stats.log
         append: yes
      1. per packet csv output
         csv:
         1. Output can be disabled here, but it will still have a
         2. performance impact if compiled in.
            enabled: no
            filename: packet_stats.csv
   1. profiling of locking. Only available when Suricata was built with
   2. --enable-profiling-locks.
      locks:
      enabled: no
      filename: lock_stats.log
      append: yes

   pcap-log:
   enabled: no
   filename: pcaplog_stats.log
   append: yes

1. Netfilter integration ##

1. When running in NFQ inline mode, it is possible to use a simulated
2. non-terminal NFQUEUE verdict.
3. This permit to do send all needed packet to suricata via this a rule:
4. iptables -I FORWARD -m mark ! --mark $MARK/$MASK -j NFQUEUE
5. And below, you can have your standard filtering ruleset. To activate
6. this mode, you need to set mode to 'repeat'
7. If you want packet to be sent to another queue after an ACCEPT decision
8. set mode to 'route' and set next-queue value.
9. On linux >= 3.1, you can set batchcount to a value > 1 to improve performance
10. by processing several packets before sending a verdict (worker runmode only).
11. On linux >= 3.6, you can set the fail-open option to yes to have the kernel
12. accept the packet if suricata is not able to keep pace.
13. bypass mark and mask can be used to implement NFQ bypass. If bypass mark is
14. set then the NFQ bypass is activated. Suricata will set the bypass mark/mask
15. on packet of a flow that need to be bypassed. The Nefilter ruleset has to
16. directly accept all packets of a flow once a packet has been marked.
    nfq:
17. mode: accept
18. repeat-mark: 1
19. repeat-mask: 1
20. bypass-mark: 1
21. bypass-mask: 1
22. route-queue: 2
23. batchcount: 20
24. fail-open: yes

#nflog support
nflog: # netlink multicast group # (the same as the iptables --nflog-group param) # Group 0 is used by the kernel, so you can't use it
- group: 2 # netlink buffer size
buffer-size: 18432 # put default value here
- group: default # set number of packet to queue inside kernel
qthreshold: 1 # set the delay before flushing packet in the queue inside kernel
qtimeout: 100 # netlink max buffer size
max-size: 20000

1. Advanced Capture Options ##

1. general settings affecting packet capture
   capture: # disable NIC offloading. It's restored when Suricata exists. # Enabled by default
   #disable-offloading: false # # disable checksum validation. Same as setting '-k none' on the # commandline
   #checksum-validation: none

1. Netmap support #
2. Netmap operates with NIC directly in driver, so you need FreeBSD wich have
3. built-in netmap support or compile and install netmap module and appropriate
4. NIC driver on your Linux system.
5. To reach maximum throughput disable all receive-, segmentation-,
6. checksum- offloadings on NIC.
7. Disabling Tx checksum offloading is required for connecting OS endpoint
8. with NIC endpoint.
9. You can find more information at https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap #
   netmap: # To specify OS endpoint add plus sign at the end (e.g. "eth0+")
   - interface: eth0 # Number of receive threads. "auto" uses number of RSS queues on interface.
   #threads: auto # You can use the following variables to activate netmap tap or IPS mode. # If copy-mode is set to ips or tap, the traffic coming to the current # interface will be copied to the copy-iface interface. If 'tap' is set, the # copy is complete. If 'ips' is set, the packet matching a 'drop' action # will not be copied. # To specify the OS as the copy-iface (so the OS can route packets, or forward # to a service running on the same machine) add a plus sign at the end # (e.g. "copy-iface: eth0+"). Don't forget to set up a symmetrical eth0+ -> eth0 # for return packets. Hardware checksumming must be off on the interface if # using an OS endpoint (e.g. 'ifconfig eth0 -rxcsum -txcsum -rxcsum6 -txcsum6' for FreeBSD # or 'ethtool -K eth0 tx off rx off' for Linux).
   #copy-mode: tap
   #copy-iface: eth3 # Set to yes to disable promiscuous mode # disable-promisc: no # Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment # of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to # offloading to the network card of the checksum computation. # Possible values are: # - yes: checksum validation is forced # - no: checksum validation is disabled # - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when # checksum off-loading is used. # Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
   #checksum-checks: auto # BPF filter to apply to this interface. The pcap filter syntax apply here.
   #bpf-filter: port 80 or udp
   #- interface: eth3
   #threads: auto
   #copy-mode: tap
   #copy-iface: eth2 # Put default values here
   - interface: default

1. PF_RING configuration. for use with native PF_RING support
2. for more info see http://www.ntop.org/products/pf_ring/
   pfring:
   - interface: p4p2 # Number of receive threads (>1 will enable experimental flow pinned # runmode)
   threads: 16
   1. Default clusterid. PF_RING will load balance packets based on flow. # All threads/processes that will participate need to have the same # clusterid.
      cluster-id: 99
   2. Second interface
      #- interface: p4p2
   3. threads: 3
   4. cluster-id: 93
   5. cluster-type: cluster_flow
   6. Put default values here
      - interface: p4p2
      #threads: 2
   1. Default PF_RING cluster type. PF_RING can load balance per flow.
   2. Possible values are cluster_flow or cluster_round_robin.
      cluster-type: cluster_flow
   3. bpf filter for this interface
      #bpf-filter: tcp
   4. Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment
   5. of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to
   6. offloading to the network card of the checksum computation.
   7. Possible values are:
   8. - rxonly: only compute checksum for packets received by network card.
   9. - yes: checksum validation is forced
   10. - no: checksum validation is disabled
   11. - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when
   12. checksum off-loading is used. (default)
   13. Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
       #checksum-checks: auto

1. For FreeBSD ipfw(8) divert(4) support.
2. Please make sure you have ipfw_load="YES" and ipdivert_load="YES"
3. in /etc/loader.conf or kldload'ing the appropriate kernel modules.
4. Additionally, you need to have an ipfw rule for the engine to see
5. the packets from ipfw. For Example: #
6. ipfw add 100 divert 8000 ip from any to any #
7. The 8000 above should be the same number you passed on the command
8. line, i.e. -d 8000 #
   ipfw:
   1. Reinject packets at the specified ipfw rule number. This config
   2. option is the ipfw rule number AT WHICH rule processing continues
   3. in the ipfw processing system after the engine has finished
   4. inspecting the packet for acceptance. If no rule number is specified,
   5. accepted packets are reinjected at the divert rule which they entered
   6. and IPFW rule processing continues. No check is done to verify
   7. this will rule makes sense so care must be taken to avoid loops in ipfw. #
      1. The following example tells the engine to reinject packets
   8. back into the ipfw firewall AT rule number 5500: #
   9. ipfw-reinjection-rule-number: 5500

napatech: # The Host Buffer Allowance for all streams # (-1 = OFF, 1 - 100 = percentage of the host buffer that can be held back) # This may be enabled when sharing streams with another application. # Otherwise, it should be turned off.

1. use_all_streams set to "yes" will query the Napatech service for all configured
2. streams and listen on all of them. When set to "no" the streams config array
3. will be used.
   use-all-streams: yes

1. The streams to listen on. This can be either:

1. Hardware accelaration ##

1. Cuda configuration.
   cuda: # The "mpm" profile. On not specifying any of these parameters, the engine's # internal default values are used, which are same as the ones specified in # in the default conf file.
   mpm: # The minimum length required to buffer data to the gpu. # Anything below this is MPM'ed on the CPU. # Can be specified in kb, mb, gb. Just a number indicates it's in bytes. # A value of 0 indicates there's no limit.
   data-buffer-size-min-limit: 0 # The maximum length for data that we would buffer to the gpu. # Anything over this is MPM'ed on the CPU. # Can be specified in kb, mb, gb. Just a number indicates it's in bytes.

In case you have multiple devices on your system, you # can specify the device to use, using this conf. By default we hold 0, to # specify the first device cuda sees. To find out device-id associated with # the card(s) on the system run "suricata --list-cuda-cards".
   device-id: 0 # No of Cuda streams used for asynchronous processing. All values > 0 are valid. # For this option you need a device with Compute Capability > 1.0.

   1. Packet log... log packets in pcap format. 3 modes of operation: "normal"
   2. "multi" and "sguil". #
   3. In normal mode a pcap file "filename" is created in the default-log-dir,
   4. or are as specified by "dir".
   5. In multi mode, a file is created per thread. This will perform much
   6. better, but will create multiple files where 'normal' would create one.
   7. In multi mode the filename takes a few special variables:
   8. - %n -- thread number
   9. - %i -- thread id
   10. - %t -- timestamp (secs or secs.usecs based on 'ts-format'
   11. E.g. filename: pcap.%n.%t #
   12. Note that it's possible to use directories, but the directories are not
   13. created by Suricata. E.g. filename: pcaps/%n/log.%s will log into the
   14. per thread directory. #
   15. Also note that the limit and max-files settings are enforced per thread.
   16. So the size limit when using 8 threads with 1000mb files and 2000 files
   17. is: 8*1000*2000 ~ 16TiB. #
   18. In Sguil mode "dir" indicates the base directory. In this base dir the
   19. pcaps are created in th directory structure Sguil expects: #
   20. $sguil-base-dir/YYYY-MM-DD/$filename.<timestamp> #
   21. By default all packets are logged except:
   22. - TCP streams beyond stream.reassembly.depth
   23. - encrypted streams after the key exchange #
       - pcap-log:
       enabled: yes
       filename: log.pcap
       1. File size limit. Can be specified in kb, mb, gb. Just a number
       2. is parsed as bytes.
          limit: 1000mb
       1. If set to a value will enable ring buffer mode. Will keep Maximum of "max-files" of size "limit"
          max-files: 2000

       mode: normal # normal, multi or sguil.

       1. Directory to place pcap files. If not provided the default log
       2. directory will be used. Required for "sguil" mode.
          #dir: /nsm_data/

       #ts-format: usec # sec or usec second format (default) is filename.sec usec is filename.sec.usec

   1. output module to store extracted files to disk #
   2. The files are stored to the log-dir in a format "file.<id>" where <id> is
   3. an incrementing number starting at 1. For each file "file.<id>" a meta
   4. file "file.<id>.meta" is created. #
   5. File extraction depends on a lot of things to be fully done:
   6. - file-store stream-depth. For optimal results, set this to 0 (unlimited)

1. Step 4: configure common capture settings ##
2. See "Advanced Capture Options" below for more options, including NETMAP
3. and PF_RING. ##

1. Linux high speed capture support
   af-packet:
   - interface: p4p2 # Number of receive threads. "auto" uses the number of cores
   #threads: auto # Default clusterid. AF_PACKET will load balance packets based on flow.
   cluster-id: 97 # Default AF_PACKET cluster type. AF_PACKET can load balance per flow or per hash. # This is only supported for Linux kernel > 3.1 # possible value are: # * cluster_round_robin: round robin load balancing # * cluster_flow: all packets of a given flow are send to the same socket # * cluster_cpu: all packets treated in kernel by a CPU are send to the same socket # * cluster_qm: all packets linked by network card to a RSS queue are sent to the same # socket. Requires at least Linux 3.14. # * cluster_random: packets are sent randomly to sockets but with an equipartition. # Requires at least Linux 3.14. # * cluster_rollover: kernel rotates between sockets filling each socket before moving # to the next. Requires at least Linux 3.10. # Recommended modes are cluster_flow on most boxes and cluster_cpu or cluster_qm on system # with capture card using RSS (require cpu affinity tuning and system irq tuning)
   cluster-type: cluster_flow # In some fragmentation case, the hash can not be computed. If "defrag" is set # to yes, the kernel will do the needed defragmentation before sending the packets.
   defrag: yes # After Linux kernel 3.10 it is possible to activate the rollover option: if a socket is # full then kernel will send the packet on the next socket with room available. This option # can minimize packet drop and increase the treated bandwidth on single intensive flow.
   #rollover: yes # To use the ring feature of AF_PACKET, set 'use-mmap' to yes
   use-mmap: no # Lock memory map to avoid it goes to swap. Be careful that over suscribing could lock # your system
   #mmap-locked: yes # Use tpacket_v3 capture mode, only active if use-mmap is true # Don't use it in IPS or TAP mode as it causes severe latency
   #tpacket-v3: yes # Ring size will be computed with respect to max_pending_packets and number # of threads. You can set manually the ring size in number of packets by setting # the following value. If you are using flow cluster-type and have really network # intensive single-flow you could want to set the ring-size independently of the number # of threads:
   ring-size: 204800 # Block size is used by tpacket_v3 only. It should set to a value high enough to contain # a decent number of packets. Size is in bytes so please consider your MTU. It should be # a power of 2 and it must be multiple of page size (usually 4096).
   #block-size: 32768 # tpacket_v3 block timeout: an open block is passed to userspace if it is not # filled after block-timeout milliseconds.
   #block-timeout: 10 # On busy system, this could help to set it to yes to recover from a packet drop # phase. This will result in some packets (at max a ring flush) being non treated.
   #use-emergency-flush: yes # recv buffer size, increase value could improve performance
   buffer-size: 327680 # Set to yes to disable promiscuous mode # disable-promisc: no # Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment # of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to # offloading to the network card of the checksum computation. # Possible values are: # - kernel: use indication sent by kernel for each packet (default) # - yes: checksum validation is forced # - no: checksum validation is disabled # - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when # checksum off-loading is used. # Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
   #checksum-checks: kernel # BPF filter to apply to this interface. The pcap filter syntax apply here.
   #bpf-filter: port 80 or udp # You can use the following variables to activate AF_PACKET tap or IPS mode. # If copy-mode is set to ips or tap, the traffic coming to the current # interface will be copied to the copy-iface interface. If 'tap' is set, the # copy is complete. If 'ips' is set, the packet matching a 'drop' action # will not be copied.
   #copy-mode: ips
   #copy-iface: eth1
   1. Put default values here. These will be used for an interface that is not
   2. in the list above.
      - interface: default
      #threads: auto
      #use-mmap: no
      #rollover: yes
      #tpacket-v3: yes

1. Cross platform libpcap capture support
   pcap:
   - interface: eth0 # On Linux, pcap will try to use mmaped capture and will use buffer-size # as total of memory used by the ring. So set this to something bigger # than 1% of your bandwidth.
   #buffer-size: 16777216
   #bpf-filter: "tcp and port 25" # Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment # of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to # offloading to the network card of the checksum computation. # Possible values are: # - yes: checksum validation is forced # - no: checksum validation is disabled # - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when # checksum off-loading is used. (default) # Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
   #checksum-checks: auto # With some accelerator cards using a modified libpcap (like myricom), you # may want to have the same number of capture threads as the number of capture # rings. In this case, set up the threads variable to N to start N threads # listening on the same interface.
   #threads: 16 # set to no to disable promiscuous mode:
   #promisc: no # set snaplen, if not set it defaults to MTU if MTU can be known # via ioctl call and to full capture if not.
   #snaplen: 1518 # Put default values here
   - interface: default
   #checksum-checks: auto

1. Settings for reading pcap files
   pcap-file: # Possible values are: # - yes: checksum validation is forced # - no: checksum validation is disabled # - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when # checksum off-loading is used. (default) # Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have checksum tested
   checksum-checks: auto

1. Run Options ##

1. Run suricata as user and group.
   #run-as:
2. user: suri
3. group: suri

1. Some logging module will use that name in event as identifier. The default
2. value is the hostname
   #sensor-name: suricata

1. Default location of the pid file. The pid file is only used in
2. daemon mode (start Suricata with -D). If not running in daemon mode
3. the --pidfile command line option must be used to create a pid file.
   #pid-file: /usr/local/suricata4/var/run/suricata.pid

1. Daemon working directory
2. Suricata will change directory to this one if provided
3. Default: "/"
   #daemon-directory: "/"

1. Suricata core dump configuration. Limits the size of the core dump file to
2. approximately max-dump. The actual core dump size will be a multiple of the
3. page size. Core dumps that would be larger than max-dump are truncated. On
4. Linux, the actual core dump size may be a few pages larger than max-dump.
5. Setting max-dump to 0 disables core dumping.
6. Setting max-dump to 'unlimited' will give the full core dump file.
7. On 32-bit Linux, a max-dump value >= ULONG_MAX may cause the core dump size
8. to be 'unlimited'.

coredump:
max-dump: unlimited

1. If suricata box is a router for the sniffed networks, set it to 'router'. If
2. it is a pure sniffing setup, set it to 'sniffer-only'.
3. If set to auto, the variable is internally switch to 'router' in IPS mode
4. and 'sniffer-only' in IDS mode.
5. This feature is currently only used by the reject* keywords.
   host-mode: auto

1. Number of packets preallocated per thread. The default is 1024. A higher number
2. will make sure each CPU will be more easily kept busy, but may negatively
3. impact caching. #
4. If you are using the CUDA pattern matcher (mpm-algo: ac-cuda), different rules
5. apply. In that case try something like 60000 or more. This is because the CUDA
6. pattern matcher buffers and scans as many packets as possible in parallel.
   max-pending-packets: 60000

1. Runmode the engine should use. Please check --list-runmodes to get the available
2. runmodes for each packet acquisition method. Defaults to "autofp" (auto flow pinned
3. load balancing).
   runmode: workers

1. Specifies the kind of flow load balancer used by the flow pinned autofp mode. #
2. Supported schedulers are: #
3. round-robin - Flows assigned to threads in a round robin fashion.
4. active-packets - Flows assigned to threads that have the lowest number of
5. unprocessed packets (default).
6. hash - Flow alloted usihng the address hash. More of a random
7. technique. Was the default in Suricata 1.2.1 and older. #
   #autofp-scheduler: active-packets

1. Preallocated size for packet. Default is 1514 which is the classical
2. size for pcap on ethernet. You should adjust this value to the highest
3. packet size (MTU + hardware header) on your system.
   default-packet-size: 1522

1. Unix command socket can be used to pass commands to suricata.
2. An external tool can then connect to get information from suricata
3. or trigger some modifications of the engine. Set enabled to yes
4. to activate the feature. In auto mode, the feature will only be
5. activated in live capture mode. You can use the filename variable to set
6. the file name of the socket.
   unix-command:
   enabled: auto
   #filename: custom.socket

1. Magic file. The extension .mgc is added to the value here.
   #magic-file: /usr/share/file/magic
   #magic-file:

uricontent: enabled

1. Detection settings ##

1. Set the order of alerts bassed on actions
2. The default order is pass, drop, reject, alert
3. action-order:
4. - pass
5. - drop
6. - reject
7. - alert

1. IP Reputation
   #reputation-categories-file: /usr/local/suricata4/etc/suricata/iprep/categories.txt

   #reputation-files:
2. - reputation.list

1. When run with the option --engine-analysis, the engine will read each of
2. the parameters below, and print reports for each of the enabled sections
3. and exit. The reports are printed to a file in the default log dir
4. given by the parameter "default-log-dir", with engine reporting
5. subsection below printing reports in its own report file.
   engine-analysis: # enables printing reports for fast-pattern for every rule.

1. Enable defrag per host settings
2. host-config: #
3. - dmz:

11. - 172.16.14.0/24

1. Flow settings:
2. By default, the reserved memory (memcap) for flows is 32MB. This is the limit
3. for flow allocation inside the engine. You can change this value to allow
4. more memory usage for flows.
5. The hash-size determine the size of the hash used to identify flows inside
6. the engine, and by default the value is 65536.
7. At the startup, the engine can preallocate a number of flows, to get a better
8. performance. The number of flows preallocated is 10000 by default.
9. emergency-recovery is the percentage of flows that the engine need to
10. prune before unsetting the emergency state. The emergency state is activated
11. when the memcap limit is reached, allowing to create new flows, but
12. prunning them with the emergency timeouts (they are defined below).
13. If the memcap is reached, the engine will try to prune flows
14. with the default timeouts. If it doens't find a flow to prune, it will set
15. the emergency bit and it will try again with more agressive timeouts.
16. If that doesn't work, then it will try to kill the last time seen flows
17. not in use.
18. The memcap can be specified in kb, mb, gb. Just a number indicates it's
19. in bytes.

flow:
memcap: 1gb
hash-size: 1048576
prealloc: 1048576
emergency-recovery: 30
#managers: 1 # default to one flow manager
#recyclers: 1 # default to one flow recycler thread

1. This option controls the use of vlan ids in the flow (and defrag)
2. hashing. Normally this should be enabled, but in some (broken)
3. setups where both sides of a flow are not tagged with the same vlan
4. tag, we can ignore the vlan id's in the flow hashing.
   vlan:
   use-for-tracking: true

1. Specific timeouts for flows. Here you can specify the timeouts that the
2. active flows will wait to transit from the current state to another, on each
3. protocol. The value of "new" determine the seconds to wait after a hanshake or
4. stream startup before the engine free the data of that flow it doesn't
5. change the state to established (usually if we don't receive more packets
6. of that flow). The value of "established" is the amount of
7. seconds that the engine will wait to free the flow if it spend that amount
8. without receiving new packets or closing the connection. "closed" is the
9. amount of time to wait after a flow is closed (usually zero). "bypassed"
10. timeout controls locally bypassed flows. For these flows we don't do any other
11. tracking. If no packets have been seen after this timeout, the flow is discarded. #
12. There's an emergency mode that will become active under attack circumstances,
13. making the engine to check flow status faster. This configuration variables
14. use the prefix "emergency-" and work similar as the normal ones.
15. Some timeouts doesn't apply to all the protocols, like "closed", for udp and
16. icmp.

1. Performance tuning and profiling ##

1. The detection engine builds internal groups of signatures. The engine
2. allow us to specify the profile to use for them, to manage memory on an
3. efficient way keeping a good performance. For the profile keyword you
4. can use the words "low", "medium", "high" or "custom". If you use custom
5. make sure to define the values at "- custom-values" as your convenience.
6. Usually you would prefer medium/high/low. #
7. "sgh mpm-context", indicates how the staging should allot mpm contexts for
8. the signature groups. "single" indicates the use of a single context for
9. all the signature group heads. "full" indicates a mpm-context for each
10. group head. "auto" lets the engine decide the distribution of contexts
11. based on the information the engine gathers on the patterns from each
12. group head. #
13. The option inspection-recursion-limit is used to limit the recursive calls
14. in the content inspection code. For certain payload-sig combinations, we
15. might end up taking too much time in the content inspection code.
16. If the argument specified is 0, the engine uses an internally defined
17. default limit. On not specifying a value, we use no limits on the recursion.
    detect:
    profile: custom
    custom-values:
    toclient-groups: 200
    toserver-groups: 200
    sgh-mpm-context: full
    inspection-recursion-limit: 9000 # If set to yes, the loading of signatures will be made after the capture # is started. This will limit the downtime in IPS mode.
    #delayed-detect: yes

    prefilter: # default prefiltering setting. "mpm" only creates MPM/fast_pattern # engines. "auto" also sets up prefilter engines for other keywords. # Use --list-keywords=all to see which keywords support prefiltering.
    default: mpm

    1. the grouping values above control how many groups are created per
    2. direction. Port whitelisting forces that port to get it's own group.
    3. Very common ports will benefit, as well as ports with many expensive
    4. rules.
       grouping:
       #tcp-whitelist: 53, 80, 139, 443, 445, 1433, 3306, 3389, 6666, 6667, 8080
       #udp-whitelist: 53, 135, 5060

    profiling: # Log the rules that made it past the prefilter stage, per packet # default is off. The threshold setting determines how many rules # must have made it past pre-filter for that rule to trigger the # logging.
    #inspect-logging-threshold: 200
    grouping:
    dump-to-disk: false
    include-rules: false # very verbose
    include-mpm-stats: false

1. Select the multi pattern algorithm you want to run for scan/search the
2. in the engine. #
3. The supported algorithms are:
4. "ac" - Aho-Corasick, default implementation
5. "ac-bs" - Aho-Corasick, reduced memory implementation
6. "ac-cuda" - Aho-Corasick, CUDA implementation
7. "ac-ks" - Aho-Corasick, "Ken Steele" variant
8. "hs" - Hyperscan, available when built with Hyperscan support #
9. The default mpm-algo value of "auto" will use "hs" if Hyperscan is
10. available, "ac" otherwise. #
11. The mpm you choose also decides the distribution of mpm contexts for
12. signature groups, specified by the conf - "detect.sgh-mpm-context".
13. Selecting "ac" as the mpm would require "detect.sgh-mpm-context"
14. to be set to "single", because of ac's memory requirements, unless the
15. ruleset is small enough to fit in one's memory, in which case one can
16. use "full" with "ac". Rest of the mpms can be run in "full" mode. #
17. There is also a CUDA pattern matcher (only available if Suricata was
18. compiled with --enable-cuda: b2g_cuda. Make sure to update your
19. max-pending-packets setting above as well if you use b2g_cuda.

mpm-algo: auto

1. Select the matching algorithm you want to use for single-pattern searches. #
2. Supported algorithms are "bm" (Boyer-Moore) and "hs" (Hyperscan, only
3. available if Suricata has been built with Hyperscan support). #
4. The default of "auto" will use "hs" if available, otherwise "bm".

   medium: [ "1-2" ]
   high: [ 3 ]
   default: "medium"
   #- verdict-cpu-set: # cpu: [ 0 ] # prio: # default: "high" # # By default Suricata creates one "detect" thread per available CPU/CPU core. # This setting allows controlling this behaviour. A ratio setting of 2 will # create 2 detect threads for each CPU/CPU core. So for a dual core CPU this # will result in 4 detect threads. If values below 1 are used, less threads # are created. So on a dual core CPU a setting of 0.5 results in 1 detect # thread being created. Regardless of the setting at a minimum 1 detect # thread will always be created. #
   detect-thread-ratio: 1.0

1. Luajit has a strange memory requirement, it's 'states' need to be in the
2. first 2G of the process' memory. #
3. 'luajit.states' is used to control how many states are preallocated.
4. State use: per detect script: 1 per detect thread. Per output script: 1 per
5. script.
   luajit:
   states: 128

1. Profiling settings. Only effective if Suricata has been built with the
2. the --enable-profiling configure flag. #
   profiling: # Run profiling for every xth packet. The default is 1, which means we # profile every packet. If set to 1000, one packet is profiled for every # 1000 received.
   #sample-rate: 1000

1. Netfilter integration ##

1. When running in NFQ inline mode, it is possible to use a simulated
2. non-terminal NFQUEUE verdict.
3. This permit to do send all needed packet to suricata via this a rule:
4. iptables -I FORWARD -m mark ! --mark $MARK/$MASK -j NFQUEUE
5. And below, you can have your standard filtering ruleset. To activate
6. this mode, you need to set mode to 'repeat'
7. If you want packet to be sent to another queue after an ACCEPT decision
8. set mode to 'route' and set next-queue value.
9. On linux >= 3.1, you can set batchcount to a value > 1 to improve performance
10. by processing several packets before sending a verdict (worker runmode only).
11. On linux >= 3.6, you can set the fail-open option to yes to have the kernel
12. accept the packet if suricata is not able to keep pace.
13. bypass mark and mask can be used to implement NFQ bypass. If bypass mark is
14. set then the NFQ bypass is activated. Suricata will set the bypass mark/mask
15. on packet of a flow that need to be bypassed. The Nefilter ruleset has to
16. directly accept all packets of a flow once a packet has been marked.
    nfq:
17. mode: accept
18. repeat-mark: 1
19. repeat-mask: 1
20. bypass-mark: 1
21. bypass-mask: 1
22. route-queue: 2
23. batchcount: 20
24. fail-open: yes

#nflog support
nflog: # netlink multicast group # (the same as the iptables --nflog-group param) # Group 0 is used by the kernel, so you can't use it
- group: 2 # netlink buffer size
buffer-size: 18432 # put default value here
- group: default # set number of packet to queue inside kernel
qthreshold: 1 # set the delay before flushing packet in the queue inside kernel
qtimeout: 100 # netlink max buffer size
max-size: 20000

1. Advanced Capture Options ##

1. general settings affecting packet capture
   capture: # disable NIC offloading. It's restored when Suricata exists. # Enabled by default
   #disable-offloading: false # # disable checksum validation. Same as setting '-k none' on the # commandline
   #checksum-validation: none

1. Netmap support #
2. Netmap operates with NIC directly in driver, so you need FreeBSD wich have
3. built-in netmap support or compile and install netmap module and appropriate
4. NIC driver on your Linux system.
5. To reach maximum throughput disable all receive-, segmentation-,
6. checksum- offloadings on NIC.
7. Disabling Tx checksum offloading is required for connecting OS endpoint
8. with NIC endpoint.
9. You can find more information at https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap #
   netmap: # To specify OS endpoint add plus sign at the end (e.g. "eth0+")
   - interface: eth0 # Number of receive threads. "auto" uses number of RSS queues on interface.
   #threads: auto # You can use the following variables to activate netmap tap or IPS mode. # If copy-mode is set to ips or tap, the traffic coming to the current # interface will be copied to the copy-iface interface. If 'tap' is set, the # copy is complete. If 'ips' is set, the packet matching a 'drop' action # will not be copied. # To specify the OS as the copy-iface (so the OS can route packets, or forward # to a service running on the same machine) add a plus sign at the end # (e.g. "copy-iface: eth0+"). Don't forget to set up a symmetrical eth0+ -> eth0 # for return packets. Hardware checksumming must be off on the interface if # using an OS endpoint (e.g. 'ifconfig eth0 -rxcsum -txcsum -rxcsum6 -txcsum6' for FreeBSD # or 'ethtool -K eth0 tx off rx off' for Linux).
   #copy-mode: tap
   #copy-iface: eth3 # Set to yes to disable promiscuous mode # disable-promisc: no # Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment # of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to # offloading to the network card of the checksum computation. # Possible values are: # - yes: checksum validation is forced # - no: checksum validation is disabled # - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when # checksum off-loading is used. # Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
   #checksum-checks: auto # BPF filter to apply to this interface. The pcap filter syntax apply here.
   #bpf-filter: port 80 or udp
   #- interface: eth3
   #threads: auto
   #copy-mode: tap

1. PF_RING configuration. for use with native PF_RING support
2. for more info see http://www.ntop.org/products/pf_ring/
   pfring:
   - interface: p4p2 # Number of receive threads (>1 will enable experimental flow pinned # runmode)
   threads: 16
   1. Default clusterid. PF_RING will load balance packets based on flow. # All threads/processes that will participate need to have the same # clusterid.
      cluster-id: 99
   2. Second interface
      #- interface: p4p2
   3. threads: 3
   4. cluster-id: 93
   5. cluster-type: cluster_flow
   6. Put default values here
      - interface: p4p2
      #threads: 2
   1. Default PF_RING cluster type. PF_RING can load balance per flow.
   2. Possible values are cluster_flow or cluster_round_robin.
      cluster-type: cluster_flow
   3. bpf filter for this interface
      #bpf-filter: tcp
   4. Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment
   5. of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to
   6. offloading to the network card of the checksum computation.
   7. Possible values are:
   8. - rxonly: only compute checksum for packets received by network card.
   9. - yes: checksum validation is forced
   10. - no: checksum validation is disabled
   11. - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when
   12. checksum off-loading is used. (default)
   13. Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
       #checksum-checks: auto

1. For FreeBSD ipfw(8) divert(4) support.
2. Please make sure you have ipfw_load="YES" and ipdivert_load="YES"
3. in /etc/loader.conf or kldload'ing the appropriate kernel modules.
4. Additionally, you need to have an ipfw rule for the engine to see
5. the packets from ipfw. For Example: #
6. ipfw add 100 divert 8000 ip from any to any #
7. The 8000 above should be the same number you passed on the command
8. line, i.e. -d 8000 #
   ipfw:
   1. Reinject packets at the specified ipfw rule number. This config
   2. option is the ipfw rule number AT WHICH rule processing continues
   3. in the ipfw processing system after the engine has finished
   4. inspecting the packet for acceptance. If no rule number is specified,
   5. accepted packets are reinjected at the divert rule which they entered
   6. and IPFW rule processing continues. No check is done to verify
   7. this will rule makes sense so care must be taken to avoid loops in ipfw. #
      1. The following example tells the engine to reinject packets
   8. back into the ipfw firewall AT rule number 5500: #
   9. ipfw-reinjection-rule-number: 5500

napatech: # The Host Buffer Allowance for all streams # (-1 = OFF, 1 - 100 = percentage of the host buffer that can be held back) # This may be enabled when sharing streams with another application. # Otherwise, it should be turned off.

and i also tried afpacket mode
/usr/local/suricata4.0.7/bin/suricata --runmode workers --af-packet=p4p2 -c /usr/local/suricata4.0.7/etc/suricata/suricata.yaml

my test method is
capture a http request and repeat several times, all the repeat got success response, and the web server received the access messages.
but suricata can't capture all my requests. sometimes lost a little requests, sometime lost almost the requests.

btw: i use network span to capture traffic

I'm still not 100% sure what you're doing. You have this traffic running and the machine with suricata is attached to the span port?
How do you determine that suricata didn't see the requests?
Do you see other requests?
Can you try a small portion of traffic and check if you see it with tcpdump on the same machine as suricata and also if you can see it within suricata.
A stats.log output might be helpful as well.

my test method
1. span the network traffic to my machine p4p2 nic
2. start suricata monitor p4p2 port
cmd:
/usr/local/suricata4.0.7/bin/suricata --pfring-int=p4p2 --pfring-cluster-id=99 --pfring-cluster-type=cluster_flow -c /usr/local/suricata4.0.7/etc/suricata/suricata.yaml
3. i write a test rule which is suricata only load's rule , it's only for test
4. when i start suricata , i also start tcpdump to monitor p4p2
5. i send request from my pc, which is the rule suricata loads, it is for test suricata can catch it , if match it will write log to eve.log
6. finally ,when i stop capture, suricata tells me 0 drop, and then i 'll test whether suricata and tcpdump catch my all test traffice; actually i test such as 10 requests, tcpdump can catch all, but suricata can not.
u could see my snaps above
i don't know why , it worried me for 2 weeks. please help

i found my problem
