[Snort-users] Fwd: Failed FTP login signature

Just in case anyone else finds this useful:

The SSH, and FTP rules were taken from the bleeding snort rules.
They've been modified for use with snortsam.  These have been working
great for us.  The thresholds are what make these work great.  With
snortsam,  we can add DROP rules for everything from that IP address
to our firewall.
