Hi Fedora, Can you tell me what exactly are trying to match in TCP header, I can try at my end on one of the pcaps and provide you some ways we can do it.

What version of Snort do you use (mine is 2.9.7.0)? Maybe some additional rule options are required? 18.10.2020 18:56, Santosh Subramanya пишет: Hi Fedor, To search in TCP header, you can use alert ip $EXTERNAL_NET instead of alert tcp EXTERNAL_NET. By using ip instead of tcp, snort starts searching patterns mention in signature from ip header. I hope this helps.

I know about the 'content' option, but it performs searching only in payload; however, I'd like to check presence of some byte sequences in headers. It would be useful to search in headers; for instance, I need to check some TCP options, but Snort non-payload rule options don't support it; if I could search for specific bytes in TCP header, I would be able to perform these checks.
