Hi Teknet,

 

$attr_value3 is a string containing hexadecimal digits. So you'll never find the string "audit-session-id" in it.

 

But you may...

 

  • Check if $attr_value3 contains "61756469745f73657373696f6e5f6964" (aka. hexadecimal representation of "audit_session_id")
  • Check if [binary format H* $attr_value3] contains "audit_session_id"
  • Change the binary scan format to "@${tmpindex}A${hsize}cc" and then check if $attr_value3 contains "audit_session_id"

Cheers, Kai
