Re: Snort Rules for LOKI Daemon

Didn't classic loki use something stupid in the packet
that gave it away?  I believe it was the same sequence
number for every packet.  The reason I bring this up
is I am curious as to how you know what triggers an
alert in Cisco IDS.  I thought the signatures were
off-limits...am I wrong?

Well, a detection using this method would have to be
a snort preprocessor. 
A simple snort rule cannot be stateful, thus can't
compare the number of 
echo replies with the number of echo requests...

Of course, if there's something significant in the
data contents of the 
echo reply packets themselves, then a simple snort
rule would work great.

What rules, if any, does snort use to detect the
lokid?  If there the 
default rule set does not include one, does anyone
have a custom rule?
Cisco IDS fires the lokid signature when it sees
more incoming echo replys 
than outbound echo requests.  This rule depends on
the foreign host 
sending more echo replies to the local host than
the local host has sent 
echo requests to it.  With this logic, you could
assume that you will see 
less than half of all possible loki intrusions. 
Thanks.
