This is the signature of the eEye tool to scan for Code Red vulnerabilities.
A lot of sysadmins are using it in preparation for this evenings next
"outbreak" to see if there are still vulnerable systems on their networks.

http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Tools/codered.html

please note that it uses a different character for the overflow character,
and there is no payload to be delivered after the buffer overflow. The
scanner just checks the response that the server gives to see whether the
vulnerability exists or not.

Removing the 'default' was a good idea.  I'm not sure if these are Code
Red v3
or some other probe tool, but since 5PM today my web servers have been
probed
about 10 times and the probe is NOT the same as CRv2:

136.176.193.[some#] - - [31/Jul/2001:16:57:45 -0400] "GET /x.ida?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=X HTTP/1.1"
404
280 "-" "-"

[somehost].bradley.edu - - [31/Jul/2001:17:09:40 -0400] "GET /x.ida?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=X HTTP/1.1"
404
211 "-" "-"

Each of my servers gets probed twice by the same infected host, about 2
minutes
apart.

Just thought I'd pass on the info - this may be something else entirely -
I
tried searching for this signature and came up empty but the various
security
sites are a bit slow tonight (no surprise) and the searches didn't always
work.

We'll see how it goes!

Quoting John Berkers <berjo () ozemail com au>:

For Snort 1.7 I would suggest content:".ida?";nocase , for snort 1.8
uricontent:".ida?";nocase

Removing the /default portion of the content makes the signature more
generic, since in theory the ida overflow could be done via index.ida as
well.  The ? reduces the number of false alerts as the ? is required to
produce the overflow.  Finally, the nocase removes any case sensitivity
the
rule would otherwise have, which Windows doesn't.  It might also be
worthwhile to add a dsize: >239; flags A+ as per both Snort and
Whitehats
rules to further reduce false positives.

The rule already exists in web-iis.rules from snort CVS since 19 June,
and
also in Whitehats vision17.rules and vision18.rules from around the same
time.

Lets hope all the preparation has paid off!

John Berkers

Subject: [Snort-users] Code Red Rule?


Hi,

I'm relatively new to snort, could someone comment on this rule for
catching Code Red?

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 80 (msg:"Code Red default.ida
attempt"; flags:PA; content:"GET /default.ida"; nocase;)

Is that right?

TIA

Rich
