I read about it in one of the forums. The guy had the same problem and it resolved by specifying -P option. In my case too, if I do not set any snaplen and let snort use default value I do not get any alerts for both the attacks. But by setting snaplen, I get alerts for MS04-007 and "Shellcode Detected" alerts for Apache. Also in latter case, the number of IP4Disc packets is very less On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 10:27 PM, Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com> wrote:
Why do you need to specify a snaplen? On Jul 6, 2011, at 4:58 AM, Dheeraj Gupta wrote: Hi, Turns out Snort was discarding packets(IP4Disc) so no alerts were logged . I set the snaplen to 3000 using -P option and now MS04-007 signature fires well....however the chunked encoding one still does not fire and the only alerts I get is about shellcode On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 9:34 PM, Bhagya Bantwal <bbantwal () sourcefire com>wrote:Can you provide with a sample pcap for this issue? -B On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 7:29 AM, Dheeraj Gupta <dheeraj.gupta4 () gmail com>wrote:For my project, I need to generate some dummy attack traffic, so I decided to use an old Windows XP system (unpatched) and ran a few commercial/open source exploits on it.
