Help
The detail in this reference manual was generated from the various help commands
available in Snort. snort --help
will output:
Snort has several options to get more help:
-? list command line options (same as --help)
--help this overview of help
--help-commands [<module prefix>] output matching commands
--help-config [<module prefix>] output matching config options
--help-counts [<module prefix>] output matching peg counts
--help-limits print the int upper bounds denoted by max*
--help-module <module> output description of given module
--help-modules list all available modules with brief help
--help-modules-json dump description of all available modules in JSON format
--help-plugins list all available plugins with brief help
--help-options [<option prefix>] output matching command line options
--help-signals dump available control signals
--list-buffers output available inspection buffers
--list-builtin [<module prefix>] output matching builtin rules
--list-gids [<module prefix>] output matching generators
--list-modules [<module type>] list all known modules
--list-plugins list all known modules
--show-plugins list module and plugin versions
--help* and --list* options preempt other processing so should be last on the
command line since any following options are ignored. To ensure options like
--markup and --plugin-path take effect, place them ahead of the help or list
options.
Options that filter output based on a matching prefix, such as --help-config
won't output anything if there is no match. If no prefix is given, everything
matches.

IPS Action Modules
IPS actions allow you to perform custom actions when events are generated. Unlike loggers, these are invoked before thresholding and can be used to control external agents.
Externally defined actions must be configured to become available to the parser. For the reject rule, you can set reject = { } to get the rule to parse.

Appendix
Build Options
The options listed below must be explicitly enabled so they are built into the Snort binary. For a full list of build options, run ./configure --help.
-
--enable-shell: enable building local and remote command line shell support.
-
--enable-tsc-clock: use the TSC register on x86 systems for improved performance of latency and profiler features.
These options are built only if the required libraries and headers are present. There is no need to explicitly enable.
-
hyperscan >= 4.4.0: for the regex and sd_pattern rule options and the hyperscan search engine.
-
iconv: for converting UTF16-LE filenames to UTF8 (usually included in glibc)
-
libunwind: for printing a backtrace when a fatal signal is received.
-
lzma: for decompression of SWF and PDF files.
-
safec: for additional runtime error checking of some memory copy operations.
If you need to use headers and/or libraries in non-standard locations, you can use these options:
-
--with-pkg-includes: specify the directory containing the package headers.
-
--with-pkg-libraries: specify the directory containing the package libraries.
These can be used for pcap, luajit, pcre, dnet, daq, lzma, openssl, iconv, and hyperscan packages. For more information on these libraries see the Getting Started section of the manual.
Environment Variables
-
HOSTTYPE: optional string that is output with the version at end of line.
-
SNORT_IGNORE: the list of symbols Snort should ignore when parsing the Lua conf. Unknown symbols not in SNORT_IGNORE will cause warnings with --warn-unknown or fatals with --warn-unknown --pedantic.
-
SNORT_PROMPT: the character sequence that is printed at startup, shutdown, and in the shell. The default is the mini-pig: o")~ .
-
SNORT_PLUGIN_PATH: an optional path where Snort can find supplemental shared libraries. This is only used when Snort is building manuals. Modules in supplemental shared libraries will be added to the manuals.

119:221 (http_inspect) status code implying no body combined with Transfer-Encoding or nonzero Content-Length
An HTTP server sent a response with a status code implying there will be no body but also sent a Transfer-Encoding or nonzero Content-Length header. The status codes that imply no message body are the informational (1XX) codes, 204 No Content and 304 Not Modified. Transfer-Encoding and nonzero Content-Length headers indicate that there will be a message body.
119:222 (http_inspect) Transfer-Encoding not ending with chunked

The Expect header informs the server that the client will send a (presumably large) message body, and requests that the server send an interim 100 Continue response if it can handle the request.
119:238 (http_inspect) 1XX status code other than 100 or 101
An HTTP server sent an informational (1XX) response with a status code other than 100 Continue or 101 Switching Protocols.
119:239 (http_inspect) Expect header sent without a message body
An HTTP client sent an Expect header without sending a request message body. The Expect header informs the server that the client will send a (presumably large) message body, and requests that the server send an interim 100 Continue response if it can handle the request.
119:240 (http_inspect) HTTP 1.0 message with Transfer-Encoding header
An HTTP 1.0 message contains a Transfer-Encoding header, which is disallowed for that version.

119:245 (http_inspect) 206 response sent to a request without a Range header
A partial content (status code 206) response was sent to a request without a Range header, meaning the client did not request the message body be fragmented.
119:246 (http_inspect) HTTP in version field not all upper case
An HTTP start line contains a version field where the letters in HTTP are not all upper case.
119:247 (http_inspect) white space embedded in critical header value
There is whitespace embedded in the Content-Length header value other than leading and trailing whitespace.
119:248 (http_inspect) gzip compressed data followed by unexpected non-gzip data
While decompressing a gzip-encoded message body, the zipped data stream ended before the end of the message body, so there is unexpected non-gzip data following the compressed data.
119:249 (http_inspect) excessive HTTP parameter key repeats
There is an HTTP parameter key that is repeated at least 100 times within a request query.
119:250 (http_inspect) HTTP/2 Transfer-Encoding header other than identity

133:21 (dce_smb) SMB - multiple chained tree connect requests
It is possible to chain multiple Session Setup AndX commands within the same request. There is, however, only one place in the SMB header to return a login handle (or Uid). Windows does not allow this behavior, however Samba does. This is an anomalous behavior.
133:22 (dce_smb) SMB - multiple chained tree connect requests
It is possible to chain multiple Tree Connect AndX commands within the same request. There is, however, only one place in the SMB header to return a tree handle (or Tid). Windows does not allow this behavior, however Samba does. This is anomalous behavior.
133:23 (dce_smb) SMB - chained/compounded login followed by logoff
When a Session Setup AndX request is sent to the server, the server responds with a user id or login handle. This is used by the client in subsequent requests to indicate that it has authenticated. A Logoff AndX request is sent by the client to indicate it wants to end the session and invalidate the login handle. With SMB commands that are chained after a Session Setup AndX request, the login handle returned by the server is used for the subsequent chained commands. The combination of a Session Setup AndX command with a chained Logoff AndX command, essentially logins in and logs off in the same request and is anomalous behavior.

154:1 (js_norm) nested unescape functions
Enhanced JavaScript normalizer has encountered nested unescape functions
154:2 (js_norm) mixed unescape sequence
Enhanced JavaScript normalizer has encountered mixed unescape sequence
154:3 (js_norm) bad token
Enhanced JavaScript normalizer has encountered a symbol that is not expected as a part of a valid JavaScript statement, making further normalization impossible.
154:4 (js_norm) unexpected HTML script opening tag
HTML <script> tag must not have a nested <script> tag inside it. If a nested tag is encountered, this alert is raised. This alert is raised by the enhanced JavaScript normalizer.
154:5 (js_norm) unexpected HTML script closing tag
This alert is raised when </script> end-tag is encountered inside a JavaScript comment or literal, which is a syntax error, as the last comment or literal is not closed before script end. This alert is raised by the enhanced JavaScript normalizer.
154:6 (js_norm) max number of unique identifiers reached
JavaScript normalization includes identifier substitution, which brings arbitrary JavaScript identifiers to a common form. Amount of unique identifiers to normalize is limited, for memory considerations, with http_inspect.js_norm_identifier_depth parameter. When this threshold is reached, a corresponding alert is raised. This alert is not expected for typical network traffic and may be an indication that an attacker is trying to exhaust resources. This alert is raised by the enhanced JavaScript normalizer.
154:7 (js_norm) excessive bracket nesting
In JavaScript, template literals can have substitutions, that in turn can have nested template literals, which requires a stack to track for proper whitespace normalization. Also, the normalization tracks the current bracket scope, which requires a stack as well. When the depth of nesting exceeds limit set in http_inspect.js_norm_max_tmpl_nest or in http_inspect.js_norm_max_bracket_depth, this alert is raised. This alert is not expected for typical network traffic and may be an indication that an attacker is trying to exhaust resources. This alert is raised by the enhanced JavaScript normalizer.
154:8 (js_norm) data gaps during normalization
This alert is raised for the following situation. During JavaScript normalization some data can be lost and not normalized. Usually it happens when rules have file_data and js_data ips options and fast-pattern (FP) search is applying to file_data. Some data doesn’t match file_data FP search and JavaScript normalization won’t be executed for it. The following normalization for inline/external scripts will be stopped for current request within the flow. This alert is raised by the enhanced JavaScript normalizer.
154:9 (js_norm) excessive scope nesting
To resolve variable names in JavaScript, a current stack of variable scopes has to be tracked. When the depth of nesting exceeds the limit set in http_inspect.js_norm_max_scope_depth, this alert is raised. This alert is not expected for typical network traffic and may be an indication that an attacker is trying to exhaust resources. This alert is raised by the enhanced JavaScript normalizer.
