Hi all,

I am experiencing a strange behaviour in BRO that I am not able to  
troubleshoot autonomously.  
I developed a simple binary protocol analyzer that produces a log file  
of type prot1.log.

If I run bro offline on a dedicated pcap it correctly outputs prot1.log  
with the proper record.  
If I run bro sniffing on an interface and I tcpreplay the pcap on the  
sniffed interface I get weird.log with SYN\_inside\_connection warning.

Is weird preemting the application of my analyzer?

many thanks in advance,  
Valerio
