I put no_alerts to stop all gen_id 119 alerts for now - snort runs and shows it in effect, since most if not ALL of these alerts are from internal web servers (we have too many), which are under normal usage. I guess there are bigger fish in the pond. BTW, I did use threshold.conf to suppress gen_id 119 alerts, it won't stop them. Thank you so much again! --- sekure <sekure () gmail com> wrote:
What are you trying to do? Those alerts look legitimate, as in, you configure http_inspect_server to only notify you of attacks it spots in URI content, and according to snort documentation "When enabled, only the URI portion of HTTP requests will be inspected for attacks. As this field usually contains 90-95% of the web attacks, you'll catch most of the attacks." So you are still getting the alerts. I couldn't find an acceptible configuration of http_inspect_server which didn't generate a ton of false positives, and i tried EVERYTHING. I still wanted to be able to use the uricontent keyword, so i needed http_inspect, so i defined http_inspect_server as: preprocessor http_inspect_server: server default \ profile apache \ ports { 80 8080 } \ no_alerts The no_alerts stops all of the gen_id 119 alerts from showing up.
