What would be really helpful is a stack backtrace, that would allow me to find where in the code it is crashing. If you can do: # gdb /usr/bin/firestorm-nids or whatever the path to firestorm-nids is. That will load firestorm in to the debugger and give you a (gdb) prompt, type 'run': (gdb) run Then when firestorm crashes you will be dropped back to that prompt. Type 'backtrace' (gdb) backtrace The debugger will spew out what will probably look like a load of shit, something like this: (gdb) bt #0 dispatch (p=0x1001e408) at decode.c:244 #1 0x0fd4aa9c in tcpstream_process (pkt=0x1001e408, i=805466188) at tcpstream.c:1159 #2 0x0fd4cae4 in tcp_decode (p=0xfd5f6ac) at tcp.c:203 #3 0x0fd4d928 in ipv4_decode (p=0xfd5f6ac) at ip.c:190 #4 0x0fc2dfa8 in sll_decode (p=0x0) at sll.c:181 #5 0x0fe3f3e0 in tcpd_go (priv=0xfd5f6ac, c=0x1001e438) at tcpdump.c:264 #6 0x100053ec in capture_go () at capture.c:115 #7 0x10003c08 in main (argc=2147481820, argv=0x4) at sensor.c:162 Copy it all in to an email and send it. Your firestorm.conf would be useful too.
