Re: Problems on Flowbits Option

[Luo Xin <kingsleyluoxin () hotmail com>]

alert tcp any any -> $HOME_NET any (msg: "State 1"; GID: 1; sid: 10000001; flags: S; flowbits: isnotset, S1; flowbits: 
set, S1;)
alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> any any (msg: "State 2"; GID: 1; sid: 10000002; flags: SA; flowbits: isset, S1; flowbits: 
set, S2;)
alert tcp any any -> $HOME_NET any (msg: "State 3"; GID: 1; sid: 10000003; flags: A; flowbits: isset, S2; flowbits: 
set, S3;)

My rules are something like this, and I hope to use this to detect syn flooding attacks. So how is it possible to 
describe the situation that is not accepted by the state machine?

    It will help if you provided an example. 
    
    “My rules don’t work” isnt much to go on :-)
