      I'm using snort 2.8.4.1_5 pkg v.1.6, and I keep on getting this alert on legitimate FTP traffic:

      10/28-14:48:06.112348 [ ** ] [ 125:4:1 ] (ftp_telnet) FTP command parameters were malformed [ ** ] [ Priority: 3 ] {TCP} 192.197.54.26:10838 -> 10.1.1.51:21

      From what I can tell, this is from the preprocessor. Is there a way to disable it?

        I used this to suppress the ftp problems i had …based on the information i found in the forum. But unable to confirm you whether it is correct. You can try to see the results.

        Add those rules in the "Threshold" page

        suppress gen_id 125, sig_id 2
        suppress gen_id 125, sig_id 4
