Re: Complete packet payload search

Finally I´ve found the problem, I haven´t taking into account that the  
web response is usually gzipped, so any Snort rule that looks in the  
http response payload will only find compressed bytes.

And the http_inspect can´t unzip de response...

Anyway, thank you

Estase citando Jason Brvenik <jasonb () sourcefire com>:

It appears that you are looking for a web server response in the rule
below, You should minimally use tcp, add flow direction, and set
sid/gid. There is a tool that can help you with your rule syntax,
check out dumbpig - http://code.google.com/p/dumbpig

I´ve tried it without seeing any difference, and even disabling the
http_inspect to see if snort directly inspect the ip/tcp packet...

I may be missing something...

Try setting flow_depth to 0 - this will inspect entire server payload.

Hi,
I´m trying to use Snort to see if some keywords are crossing the
network in any kind of packet. But , for example, with the rule:

alert ip any 80 -> any any (content:"foo"; msg:"Foo detected";)

If a webserver send me a response with a webpage with the word
"foo" it isn´t detected. I´ve seen that http_inspect preprocessor has
a flow_depth parameter but even with it with the value of 1460, I
still cannot search all the packet payload.

What parameters I need to change to make this possible?

Thank you
Luis M.
