      When I google a string of ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc's to test snort it crashes every time.  Can anyone reproduce this?

      pfsense 2.0.1 amd64
      emerging threats db
      snort monitoring lan or wan interface

      google cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

      watch snort fail instantly from top.

        doesnt happen to me.
        your hardware may be unstable, (cpu overheat/ overheated ram..)? if you have less than 4gb ram, try installing 32bit pfsense instead and see if problem still happens, maybe

          Doesn't cause any problems on our systems.
          However it may not be down to snort per se but could be caused by the rules you have active.

          Is there anything in the system logs?

          Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
