Re: spp_unicode exploits

Tom:

I believe that is handled in snort.conf:

# unidecode: normalize HTTP/detect UNICODE attacks
# ------------------------------------------------
# Works much the same as http_decode, but does a better
# job of categorizing and identifying UNICODE attacks,
# recommended as a potential replacement for http_decode.

preprocessor unidecode: 80 -unicode -cginull

#


..and not by any specific rule.


This is similar to the stream4 preprocessor, which people see but often can't quickly figure out why:

# memcap [number] - limit stream4 memory usage to [number] bytes preprocessor

stream4: detect_scans, detect_state_problems

#



HTH..

Hi,

snort detects several outgoing unicode exploits (all false positives) but i didn't define it in any rule. I'm using demarc for monitoring. grepping thru the ruleset and the sources result in nothing.
Where can i find it?

Thx

Tom
