Description

I was testing some filehash rules and encountered an issue where suricata alert does not fire without filestore keyword. The hash is logged and from the looks of it loaded as normal even without the keyword but alert never fires.

First run without the filestore keyword.

$ echo 'e19c1283c925b3206685ff522acfe3e6' > ../rules/target.md5
$ echo 'alert http any any -> any any (msg:"test"; filemd5: target.md5; classtype: bad-unknown; sid:1530024;)' > ../rules/target.rules
$ rm ../logs/*
$ ./suricata -c ../suricata.yaml -vr target.pcap; cat ../logs/eve.json

As you can see, the filestore rule fires as one would expect. Both have the correct MD5sum for the file in EVE-json. I have attached the pcap file I used to test the issue.

Exact suricata commit used in testing is 2e8fd612a63902829a3c518729fbc07c26ce92a1.

what does your suricata.yaml look like?

Thanks for looking at this, I re-tested this and looks like problem is present in at least in 4.0.4. I can try to test 4.1.4 later too.

I can produce following results:

The following cases will trigger an alert:
  • Suricata with files enabled on eve-log, filestore in rule
  • Suricata with files enabled on eve-log, NO filestore in rule
  • Suricata with NO files enabled on eve-log, filestore in rule
The following cases will NOT trigger an alert
  • Suricata with NO files enabled on eve-log, NO filestore in rule

So, to summarize, alerts get triggered with these commandlines (looking at fast.log)

suricata -c suricata-noevefile.yaml -r target.pcap -S rules/target-filestore.rules
suricata -c suricata-evefile.yaml -r target.pcap -S rules/target-filestore.rules
suricata -c suricata-evefile.yaml -r target.pcap -S rules/target.rules

And I would expect an alert with this command too, but none are generated in fast.log

suricata -c suricata-noevefile.yaml -r target.pcap -S rules/target.rules

I have attached necessary files in a tarball which can be used to reproduce the commands above.

Thanks for the details, that's something that needs to fixed or either documented if it's intended behaviour.
