Thanks Alex,

I was using two seperate rules, but I thought there might have been
another way. I am glad that you were able to confirm this was not the
case.

Maybe this is something that can appear on the wishlist for a future
version of Snort?

Thanks again.

Looking at PraseIcmpType in src/detection-plugins/sp_icmp_type_check.c, no,
it can't be done. The only possibilities are a single value, a value greater
or less than a specified digit, or a consecutive range.
It's not going to make much difference to have two distinct rules, so just
go ahead and do that.

Hello list,

I was trying to make a snort rule in which one could match multiple
ICMP types that are _not_ consecutive. For example ICMP echo requests
or replies between two IPs (e.g: 10.10.10.101 and 10.10.10.100).

I have tried too syntaxs which did not work.

1) Tried specifying two itype fields, but this was invalid.
2) Tried putting a space in between the numbers 0 and 8 to denote Echo
Requests and Echo Replies.


So can this be done?


From the Snort manual:

3.6.14 itype
The itype keyword is used to check for a specific ICMP type value.
Format
   itype:[<|>]<number>[<><number>];
Example
This example looks for an ICMP type greater than 30.
   itype:>30;
3.6.15 icode
The icode keyword is used to check for a specific ICMP code value.
Format
   icode: [<|>]<number>[<><number>];
Example
This example looks for an ICMP code greater than 30.
   code:>30;


Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
