Firstly, thanks. i know that Nmap is a better tool but the fact is that the rule is to detect specific attacks from windows OS. The company I work for does not allow me to install anything else. I have to do it with snort this is why I am trying that rule but it seems not to work.
what does it matter what OS an attack originates from? detect the atack and drop, alert or block as necessary... what i saw your rule doing appeared to be only detecting possible user agents in http headers but those are faked all the time with valid ones appearing along with invalid ones... i can tell you that they are coming from all different OS' no matter what OS the UA says it is... witness forum spammer's tools and infiltration techniques... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
