RE: ATTACK RESPONSES id check returned root

["Semerjian, Ohanes" <Semerjian.Ohanes () wcom com au>]

the signature for that alert is defined in ur rules and u don't need to go
to google to find out, just edit the rule files.
============================================================================
===============================================
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"ATTACK RESPONSES id check returned root";
flags:A+; content: "uid=0(root)"; classtype:bad-unknown
; sid:498; rev:2;)
============================================================================
================================================

this signature will fire if someone use a root as it check the payload for
word " root " account from anywhere to anywhere and that the packet has the
ACK flag set. U could fine tune the signature to meet ur requirement and ur
interest.

Best Regards

This also fires when Demarc (Puresecure) transfers rules to remote sensors.

Does anyone know what could possibly set this alert off?  I have checked
Google and didn't come up with anything specific.  I have gotten a
couple of
these this morning and was just wondering what I should be on the
lookout
for.  Thanks for any suggestions.
