RE: Relation between events and rules set.

[Julio Jaime <jjaime () ticket-accor com ar>]

Hi John,

       Im sorry, english is not my language and is difficult to me explain
it.

       You have differents set of rules :

       web-cgi.rules, web-coldfusion.rules, web-frontpage.rules,
web-iis.rules, web-misc.rules, x11.rules... etc.

       The events trigger specific rules ( rules on these set of rules ).

       Ex : WEB-IIS cmd.exe access ---> on web-iis.rules

       The only reference to the set of rules on snort alert is the msg
header, and is not reliable. ( ex. on web-misc.rules you have msg with
WEB-MISC and WEB-PHP... )

        If we can to know the set of rules that trigger the events, we can
use it to calculate the event severity.

        "WEB-IIS cmd.exe access" alert is not dangerous on Apache Web
Server.

         It's ok ?

Thanks a lot.

J.J.

Julio:

Let's do a little trimming:

Is the question "which specific rule was triggered by a specific
event" ie: alert?

cd /wherever_your_snort_rules_are/
grep 'insert_phrase_from_alert' *

To wit:

[**] [1:0:0] TCP inbound to 80 http [**]
[Priority: 0]
04/21/03-18:07:00.234228 12.84.131.147:1894 -> 12.82.133.136:80
TCP TTL:120 TOS:0x0 ID:14681 IpLen:20 DgmLen:48 DF
******S* Seq: 0xDEEB0032  Ack: 0x0  Win: 0x2238  TcpLen: 28
TCP Options (4) => MSS: 1460 NOP NOP SackOK

[toot@tweedle /storage/snort]$ grep 'inbound to 80' *
tcp191-local.rules:alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 80
 (msg:"TCP inbound to 80 http";)
