Description

Hi,

I have a pcap trace which can hit my signature with the configurations in the attachment in IDS mode.
But the same trace failed to hit the same signature with the same configuration in IPS mode.

Is it by design or a bug?

How to reproduce:
1. uncompress the tar.gz to /home/inline-test, make sure all files are under /home/inline-test
2. cd /home/inline-test
3. ntd-ids -c ./suricata.yaml -r ./1flowB.pcap, and we can see eve logs.
4. ntd-ids -c ./suricata.yaml -r ./1flowB.pcap --simulate-ips, and we can't see any eve logs.

I've finally been able to have a look. The problem is that the pcap is showing a broken TCP stream with an improper 3-way handshake. In IDS mode Suricata is more forgiving of this type of issue, but the IPS mode is quite strict.

As I don't think there is anything to fix here, I'm closing the ticket.

For reference, I added a test for both IDS and IPS modes in https://github.com/OISF/suricata-verify/pull/2879
