Description

A sanitized testing version has the signature below:

alert ip [192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2] any -> ![192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24] any (msg:"Testing missing field alert"; sid:999999; rev:1;)

Which constantly repeats this output output:

{"timestamp":"2017-02-03T20:56:28.449174+0000","alert": {"action":"allowed","gid":1,"signature_id":999999,"rev":1,"signature":"Testing missing field alert","category":"","severity":3}}

The capture method is PFRING and the EVE Output configuration is below:

- eve-log:
enabled: yes
filetype: regular
filename: eve.json
types:
- alert:
payload-printable: yes
payload: yes
http: yes
tls: yes
ssh: yes
smtp: yes

I can run a more thorough sanitized test as more information is required

I'm not sure I understand the problem I've updated one of the IP to match my setup and I've got the following alerts after a ping:

{"timestamp":"2017-02-04T00:32:05.852737+0100","in_iface":"wlan0","event_type":"alert","src_ip":"192.168.0.110","dest_ip":"1.2.3.4","proto":"ICMP","icmp_type":8,"icmp_code":0,"alert":{"action":"allowed","gid":1,"signature_id":999999,"rev":1,"signature":"Testing missing field alert","category":"","severity":3}}

What suricata version are you using by the way ?

Version 3.2, and no matching IPs in the left side of the signature are seen in the traffic flow, but I get a constant flow of alerts with no source or dest

A different environment, one I can share more details about, Ubuntu 16.04 running on an odroid XU4. suricata.yaml and eve alerts output attached. I can share flow logs and pcap through different channels.

Something odd is going on with the timestamp within the output generated as well. I ran it again to see if it was a system problem, but it doesn't appear to be.

To clarify on the problem, this rule should not fire based on the traffic flow, but I have a constant stream of alerts with no source or destination information when it is enabled.

Are you able to reproduce with a pcap recording of your traffic?

Yes, the missing field problems is present reading through PCAP. I have 10 events without src/dest fields and one properly formatted event.
