Hello, I'm trying to interpret the following signature but keep failing :-( Does anyone know how the snort kernel process the following signature? When the engine find the content "|07|", why it needs a "within" and "depth" for the following byte_jump?
You can't and there isn't. Also, there's no depth keyword AT ALL in this rule, I assume you mean distance, not depth. The within:1 and distance:-4 are modifiers to the content:"|07|" search, not the byte_jump. Remember, within and distance always modify the search keyword before them, not the search keyword after them.
Thanks a lot. alert udp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 500 (msg:"EXPLOIT ISAKMP third payload certificate request length overflow attempt"; byte_test:4,>,2043,24; byte_jump:2,30,relative; content:"|07|"; within:1; distance:-4; byte_jump:2,1,relative; byte_test:2,>,2043,-2,relative; reference:bugtraq,9582; reference:cve,2004-0040; classtype:attempted-admin; sid:237);
Break that rule up this way and it's easier to understand: byte_test:4,>,2043,24; byte_jump:2,30,relative; content:"|07|";within:1; distance:-4; byte_jump:2,1,relative; byte_test:2,>,2043,-2,relative; ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
