[Snort-sigs] Proposed improvement for SID 553

Subject: [Snort-sigs] Proposed improvement for SID 553
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 16:11:21 -0600
Greetings,

it seems that SID 553 (POLICY FTP anonymous login attempt) falses easily
on user names like ftp-blahuser. The sig currently reads:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 21 (msg:"POLICY FTP anonymous
login attempt"; flow:to_server,established; content:"USER"; nocase;
pcre:"/^USER\s+(anonymous|ftp)/smi"; classtype:misc-activity; sid:553;
rev:7;)

I propose to change it to:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 21 (msg:"POLICY FTP anonymous
login attempt"; flow:to_server,established; content:"USER"; nocase;
pcre:"/^USER\s+(anonymous|ftp)(\x0d|\x0a)/smi"; classtype:misc-activity;
sid:553; rev:7;)

Alternatively, a check for word boundary on (anonymous|ftp) might work
too.

Regards,
Frank
