Just sitting here and enjoying my new snort rules.
Then a packet that reports not the codered variant
but the plain old .ida access warning.

The mandatory look into the payload reveals:
  the next variant

Only occurance twice from the same ip-adress to the same ip-adress.
The relatively quick check reveals a dial-up system that claims to use
an apache server and SuSE-Linux.

Reported him to the provider and we'll see what happens

Seems not the script kiddiez are playing after all!
It's just snort getting tired and needing a rest ?
The double check with the apache logfiles showed that on the exact time
from the exact ip a regular user was just browsing the regular web pages.

Will now treat myself (but not snort) with some sleep.

CU Sven
