snort-2.8.6.1-0.2mdv2010.1.i586.rpm

IP in IP Tunneling
==================
Snort now has the capability of decoding IP in IP encapsulated traffic.


Payload and Delivery header support
===================================
Proto     Delivery    Payload
-----     --------    -------
IPv4          x          x
IPv6          x          x      (only with IPv6 compiled binary)


How to enable the decoder
=========================
$ ./configure --enable-gre


Note on multiple encapsulation
==============================
Snort does not support more than one encapsulation and will alert if
it sees multiple encapsulations.  For example, the following will
cause Snort to generate an alert:

--------------------------------------
| Eth | IP | IP | IP | TCP | Payload |
--------------------------------------


Logging
=======
Currently only the encapsulated part of the packet is logged,
For example:

-----------------------------------
| Eth | IP1 | IP2 | TCP | Payload |
-----------------------------------

gets logged as

-----------------------------
| Eth | IP2 | TCP | Payload |
-----------------------------


Alerts
======
Alerts pertaining to the IP in IP decoder fall under the more general case of
decoder alerts, with GID of 116.  (More general IP alerts are not mentioned here.)

SID   Description
---   -----------
161   Alerts if multiple encapsulations are encountered.
