Matter of fact, we deleted that rule in 2012. -- Joel Esler Manager, Communities Division Cisco Talos Intelligence Group http://www.talosintelligence.com On Oct 8, 2019, at 11:52 AM, Joel Esler (jesler) <jesler () cisco com<mailto:jesler () cisco com>> wrote: Hello Stephane, The first thing I would suggest is that you are working with a current copy of the rule., that version of the rule is from, about, 2004. Second, I am not sure Snort can do what you're asking. -- Joel Esler Manager, Communities Division Cisco Talos Intelligence Group http://www.talosintelligence.com<http://www.talosintelligence.com/> On Oct 7, 2019, at 2:41 AM, stephane potier via Snort-sigs <snort-sigs () lists snort org<mailto:snort-sigs () lists snort org>> wrote: Hi, I am trying to write a snort rule that alert only if the same packet is received twice (ip, port and content are identical). Idea is to raise the alert only in case of reception of the second same packet. Several other frames can be received between those 2 same packets. I do not find clear indications how using flowbits for this case. I have found a rule that seems to do similar job in /etc/snort/rules/web-client.rules (see below), but I am not very clear how it really works. alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HTTP_SERVERS 443 (msg:"WEB-MISC SSLv2 Client_Hello with pad request"; flow:to_server,established; flowbits:isnotset,sslv2.client_hello.request; flowbits:isnotset,sslv3.client_hello.request; flowbits:isnotset,tlsv1.client_hello.request; byte_test:1,<,128,0; content:"|01|"; depth:1; offset:3; content:"|00 02|"; depth:2; offset:6; flowbits:set,sslv2.client_hello.request; flowbits:noalert; classtype:protocol-command-decode; sid:2659; rev:4;) Any explanation of the previous rule and idea is welcome. Particularly how flowbits isnotset and set can be written in the same rule, and their position in the rule. Thanks.
