RE: NetSky worm signature definition...!!!

I would strongly discourage this rule to catch Klez, NetSky or any
virus, for that matter.  Running the string through some archived
mail, I'm seeing lots of false positives, particularly in (legitimate)
word documents.

I'll see what I can do to come up with something that reduces false
positives.

Using Matt Kettler's suggestion, I quickly kluged together a rule using the
clam av signature
http://www.clamav.net/

However, the old Klez detection rule seems to be triggered by NetSky, and
the log times seem to correlate exactly with the logs from the antivirus
software on the mail server.

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $SMTP_SERVERS 25 (msg:"VIRUS Klez Incoming";
flow:to_server,established; dsize:>120;content:"MIME";
content:"VGhpcyBwcm9"; classtype:misc-activity; sid:1800; rev:3;)

Seems to work well for me, but maybe I'm just lucky.

Subject: [Snort-users] NetSky worm signature definition...!!!


Hello all, 
Just was wondering if any one had this latest worm signature defined or know
it works (like which port, protocol it uses )
Best Regards
