Everyone on the list has made some good points about the virus/worm rules. I work for a computer service co. and I have seen many pc's be infected by virus some do not have av software and others just do not update or know much about it to get auto updates. I think where the virus rules should go is more toward finding infected computers on the internal network. Realistically virus coming in really don't bother me but If I see some virus activity going from IN>Out then I am concerned about the alert. etienne.causse () pierre-fabre com wrote:Hi all, I'm currently working on a Snort deployment project in my company, and I am wondering about rules which allow to see virus signatures. In my rule set (downloaded from snort.org) I see : "# NOTE: These rules are NOT being actively maintained. # These rules are going away. We don't care about virus rules anymore." Although, I see that there are more rules than the only one listed in this file on snort.org. So my question is quite simple : why is there no support for virus rules any more ? I have added some of the rules I found which allowed me to find some signatures of Sasser worm in my network. And I think it could be very cool to use Snort for monitoring worm propagation, as it could allow me to see the infected hosts quickly. Thanks for your answers.
