[Snort-sigs] Warning: flowbits keys (not) set/checked (Trojan Bot/Sasser

Subject: [Snort-sigs] Warning: flowbits keys (not) set/checked (Trojan Bot/Sasser rules)
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 20:09:04 -0500

Howdy,

I'm missing something... I've been reviewing my rule set and I have a
couple questions that google couldn't solve.

The following Trojan Bot rules (from bleeding-virus) use "flowbits:
set,trojan;" but I haven't been able to find any rule that uses
"flowbits: isset,trojan".  Am I missing rules, or missing information
about how the rules are supposed to work?  I checked bleeding-all just
in case they weren't included in the -virus set.

Trojan Bot rules:
  2002029 Rev 5
  2002030 Rev 7
  2002031 Rev 9
  2002032 Rev 4
  2002033 Rev 7
  
  2002363 Rev 6

  2002384 Rev 5
  2002385 Rev 6
  2002386 Rev 6


Similarly, the Sasser/Korgo worm rule (SID 2001286 Rev 10) uses
"flowbits: isset,netbios.lsass.bind.attempt;" but I can't find a rule 
that sets "netbios.lsass.bind.attempt".

These warnings were found when I used "snort -T".  Partial output
from that is below.

Thanks for any enlightenment.


Output from "snort -T":

[ snip ] 

Warning: flowbits key 'netbios.lsass.bind.attempt' is checked but not ever set.
Warning: flowbits key 'trojan' is set but not ever checked.
