TCP port 0 or *?

[John T. Myers]

I compiled 3.0.8 on 3.13.0-24-generic on Linux Mint:
ra -S localhost:1776 - ip and not fragonly
Segmentation fault

Also, rasqlinsert behavior seems to be different. When using 3.0.6 adding ‘autoid’ to my list of columns worked fine and defining no keys was not an issue...
"-s autoid stime flgs proto saddr sport dir daddr dport pkts bytes state srcid record -d -m none” —> works fine on 3.0.6

Now that produces the following error with 3.0.8:
rasqlinsert[3766]: 12:33:32.078827 mysql_real_query error Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key

When trying to define a key via ‘-m autoid’ that still produces the same error.

Oh my, try using argus-3.0.8 and argus-clients-3.0.8 from
the development server.  Its about to be released, only waiting
for me to find the time to finish the last pass on manages.

I am using version 3.0.6

Here are my results:

ra -S 192.168.87.211:1776 - ip and not frag
Still shows all packets with a ‘f’ flg set, for example, some of my output from ra:

Hey John,
I'll look at the filter.  Does the filter "local not fragonly" work ?

The remote argus source may not have the filter syntax support,
so the "local" does the filtering in the receiver.

Try the filter "ip and not frag" ????

Sorry not near any code right this second.
What version are you using ????

Also, in testing those filters ‘fragonly’ does not appear to work.

ra -S 192.168.87.211:1776 - fragonly
ra[25298]: 08:48:25.562475 remote Filter error
And when I run : 

ra -S 192.168.87.211:1776 - ip and frag

I get no output at all so I’m not sure if that primitive is actually filtering partial fragments out or just looking for ‘F’ flgs to filter on.

Carter,

I’m not seeing any ‘F’ in the flgs field, but I am seeing some ‘g’aps. This collect is just from a VM where there is very little traffic. All of the partial ‘f’ragments are being caused by a MySQL connection (between MySQL Workbench and a DB that rasqlinsert is feeding into). We’re talking < 100 flows per second so I’m wondering why it’s missing the first fragmented packet.

Hey John,
These are partial fragments flows, where argus didn't see the first fragment packet.  The fragments don't have either a TCP or UDP header so there aren't any port numbers to generate the 5-tuple flow record.  Argus tracks fragments, but it needs to see the first one to put them all together.   You should be able to filter them out with "not fragonly" or "not frag".  

So why are you getting so many partial fragments, ie why don't you see the first one ??  Load to high so you're droppi g lots of packets??  Load balancers and your seeing only one link of the balance??  PF_RING ???  Gigamons ??  Do you see 5-tuple flows that have fragments ( 'F' in the flgs field) ?

I am trying to use Argus to log non-aggregated/processed flow into MySQL, but rasqlinsert sets the port numbers to 0 (or * when just using ra) whenever the “f” partial fragmentation flag is set. Is there a way to just ignore that through a filter ... because it fills up more database rows than any other flows that are being collected.

This happens with a simple: ra -S someipaddress:port ip 

Thanks!
