There isn't a newer version yet, though I hope to put out 0.7 within a
month or so.

I don't know of anyone doing this, and it would certainly be handy to have!

Hello Bro's users,
I got a copy of Bro, vp-bro-0-6-alpha_tar, (I don't know is there a newer
version now?), few weeks ago but till now I have time to read it's source
code. Bro is well structured, and if we make a detailed documentation for
it, Bro will be very nice to users and who wants to develop it. So, at
first, I start drawing it's "Class-relations Scheme", which will describes
the relations between Bro's classes. Is there any one did it? If "yes",
please notice me !
PS: Please, fogive my terrible English !
FYI, a revised version of the Bro paper, which appears in Computer
Networks 31(23-24), Dec. 1999, is now available from:
ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/papers/bro-CN99.ps.gz
It has a number of tweaks over the USENIX version, none major, but together
totalling a medium-grade revision.

Very strange. The next thing to do is attach a debugger to it when it's
running and see where it is. But you might also want to try the Bro
0.7a10 snapshot:
ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/.vp-bro-pub-0.7a10.tar.gz
which may have already fixed the problem (there were some bugs in which
certain sequences of packets could make Bro loop or crash). This is a
0.7 pre-release and so doesn't include discussion of what has changed,
so not really ready for general use, though others who want to play with
it now can go ahead and fetch it. As usual, please don't redistribute it
further, instead point people at me for further copies.

What volume traffic stream are you running it on, and with what tcpdump
filter? The symptoms sound like it is running out of virtual memory and
starting to page-fault thrash.

Hi,
I am a student a Harvey Mudd College and I am working with a research
clinic sponsored by the Aerospace Corporation. I'm currently
working on configuring Bro alpha 0.6 under Solaris 2.7. When I start
running it, it appears to be working for a while, but eventually
(sometime between 25min and about a day) it runs away, takes up the whole
cpu on an Ultra Sparc 30 with 256 megs of RAM, and never seems to write
to any of its logs again. Please let me know if you can offer any
assistance. Thank you in advance.
