Re: Snort Detect Binary Transfer

Not a rule per say, but it's possible to make an educated guess on
whether a binary xfer or possible tunneling via ssh is happening using
session/connection/flow/whatever you want to call it data.

I short, look at the entire session. Regular ssh sessions cause many
'small' packets, where as scp would generally cause a large, one sided
stream. Tunneling would depend on the proto being tunneled, but
generally, more data would be seen on one side of the stream, with the
other side sending more data than say a scp.

Does anyone know of a rule to detect if any binary

Specifically this would be used for SSH/SFTP/SCP.

Just need a simple alert type of rule.

Thanks.
