Re: [Snort-users] Rules to block FT

Hi all,

I think what Dwane is looking for is ftp brute force attempts against
his own ftp servers, so this should do it:

alert tcp $HOME_NET 21 -> $EXTERNAL_NET any

Responses from $HOME_NET 21 to external hosts... the full rule from
bleeding threats:

alert tcp $HOME_NET 21 -> $EXTERNAL_NET any (msg:"BLEEDING-EDGE SCAN
Potential FTP Brute-Force attempt"; flow:from_server,established;
content:"530 "; pcre:"/^530\s+(Login|User|Failed)/smi";
classtype:unsuccessful-user; threshold: type threshold, track by_dst,
count 5, seconds 120; sid:2002383; rev:4;)


take care
/valter
