Hi Matt,

Yap, you are right about this because aside from
logging from acid I have the binary files for snort
and I review it using ethereal and I found out that 4
of the attack came from one IP which is dialup and
last one is came from my server and going to the one
with dialup.

Thanks for the input.  I appreciated.

Alwin, I took another look at these types of alerts
and on my system, they
all show my machines as the source of the alert.

So if it lists your machine as the source, this is
normal, the rule triggers
on outgoing traffic that contains the 403 message,
just letting you know
that someone tried to access something that they did
not have rights to.
All most all of my 403 alerts are triggered by
people trying to pull up a
URL like "www.your.web/some/directory/" and when
there is not a index.html
file, my systems will not list directory contents so
they get a 403 and that
triggers an alert with my server as the source.

One your alert it looks like someone tried to access
something that was not
allowed:
<H1>Forbidden</H1>.You don't have permission to
access /.on this server
.<P>.<HR>.<ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.23

Hope this helps,
Matt

Alwin, first few things that come to mind are:

Someone on the network went to a site that
returned
a 403 page.
What is your External_Net and Home_Net set to?
Can you post the alert in question or provide more
detail....

Matt

Hi Guys,

I dont know if this already posted but again I
need
your help about this Attack Response.

It showed on my database that I'm the one
attacking
some server?, which is impossible.  I know this is
false positive alert.

Any idea and comment will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance brother in snort.
