If I'm reading you right, you've fixed one problem, but still have a problem where it looks like your squid server is attacking other people's networks.

Have you tried modifying EXTERNAL_NET to not be "any" but instead be "!$HOME_NET" or "!$HTTP_SERVERS". If you're only interested in inbound attacks I'd highly recommend it as it will speed snort up, and kill this kind of false alert.


You mean use something like this?

alert tcp any !$HTTP_SERVERS -> $HTTP_SERVERS $HTTP_SERVERS_PORT (msg:"WEB-CGI calendar access"; flags:A+; uricontent:"/calendar"; nocase; classtype:attempted-recon; sid:882; rev:2;)

I already did that, in fact I have this instead:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> !$HTTP_SERVERS 8080 (msg:"SCAN Proxy \(8080\) attempt"; flags:S; classtype:attempted-recon; sid:620; rev:2;)

The problem is that these are ALSO my proxy servers running
Squid. As such, they are the spring broard into "other" peoples
webservers. Because of this I get alot of WEB-cgi calendar,
WEB-IIS scripts, etc to these machines. Should I add a "!"
into ALL of my rules? I hope not :-)

Thanks again,
