internal error: file analyzer instantiation failed

Hi to all. :slight_smile:

When running:
bro -r my.pcap -b -C base/protocols/rdp
(ubuntu server 16.04 - bro version 2.4.1)

I’m getting an error:
Error: 1521789435.202907 internal error: file analyzer instantiation failed

I’ve found nothing on google or the docs.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Assaf.

Two questions:

* is this an unmodified version of Bro, or did you install any 3rd party
  modules?

* Does this also happen in 2.5.3? 2.4.1 was released in 2015 and we do not
  really support that anymore...

Thanks, I’ll check on 2.5.3.

Please send the pcap if you are able. We don't have enough information to understand the problem otherwise.
