Got a questions about the [snort] VIRUS OUTBOUND .pif file attachment rule. I'm seeing a billion of these in my logs and don't really understand the rule. My mail server is 63.145.201.15 and from the rule it appears that my mail server is connecting to other mail servers on port 25 and Snort is picking up that I'm sending a .pif file attachment. [snort] VIRUS OUTBOUND .pif file attachment 2003-09-03 10:00:06 63.145.201.15:29180 216.144.69.88:25 TCP However... When I look at the details for the event it appears that the email is from an outside domain and being sent into our email domain... see below... from extra () eDiets com to corporate () imandi com. Imandi.com is our email domain, so this message is actually being sent inbound! Am I understanding this correctly??
Well, I'm guessing you forgot to add whatever was to be 'below'. :)
From what you posted, your server (.15) connected to .88 and sent an
email with the .pif as part of it. Everything there matches with what you show. Am I not understanding what the issue is? ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
