Bug #6591
openprotodetect: ftp parsed as smtp
Affected Versions:
Effort:
Difficulty:
Label:
Description
Single stream pcap attached (thanks to AnyRun) to reproduce.
In this case the traffic is part of FTP brute force traffic, but it ends up being logged as smtp.
The ftp traffic produces smtp and anomaly logs. Wireshark recognizes it as FTP.
Same behavior in git, 6.0.15 and 7.0.2

Quick analysis :
QUIT
is registered as a SMTP pattern
Maybe it should be converted to pattern + probing to check for port not being FTP
And have FTP have some pattern + probing as well
