Explanation

Application layer preprocessors in Cisco Firepower (Snort-based) normalize and decode specific application protocols before inspection rules are applied. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is an email protocol with a dedicated preprocessor for parsing email traffic. SSL has a preprocessor that handles decryption and inspection of TLS/SSL sessions. DNP3 is a SCADA/industrial protocol preprocessor (ICS-focused), CIFS is handled under DCE/RPC, and ICMP operates at the network layer, not the application layer.
