There is no way for us to tell if it is a false positive without actual packet data. Just X out the IPs and post it.

Ok, this is really bugging me. I've got 2 systems on our network that are continually spewing out something that's tripping this rule:

Sep 17 08:19:55 hgvsnort snort: [1:2382:13] NETBIOS SMB DCERPC NTLMSSP asn1 overflow attempt [Classification: Attempted Administrator Privilege Gain] [Priority: 1]: {TCP} <IP address A>:2622 -> <IP address B>:139


I'm familiar with the ASN1 overflow attack, which is why I'm little nervous that I'm seeing it on my network. Now, both <IP address A> and <IP address B> are internal IPs. And <IP address B> is always one of 3 systems: both DNS servers, and a random client. They've got the most current anti-virus and have been scanned for spyware. What is it that I'm missing? Could it be a false positive? I don't really think it is, but I'm open to suggestion at this point.
