List,  
I have a question about the SSL analyzer and the ssl.bro policy file. I'm trying to use this policy to track ssl certificates across a link. However, this policy seems to be broken.

Upon starting bro 1.0 with ssl.bro enabled I get  
line 1: warning: event handlers never invoked:  
line 1: warning: account\_tried  
line 1: warning: ssl\_ciphersuite\_seen

after the first ssl connection or sometimes the second... bro seg faults with no core or debugging information. Also I have recompiled bro with debugging enabled and retried it with no luck as well.  
Lastly, I have turned almost everything off in the policy file just to check if thats the issue as well.

Anyone been able to run the ssl analyzer successfully?

Thanks,  
Jake Babbin

I tried running with the ssl policy but bro segfaulted in the same manner as you are seeing. I also am running Bro 1.0.

There is a preliminary bugfix appended in the patch (apply in the src directory using "patch -p1"). If it works for you, please let me know if you find any inconsistencies in the analyzer output.
