"Since potentially many events will be generated, a detection filter
would normally be used in conjunction with
an event filter to reduce the number of logged events."

Read README.filter at doc directory in tarball .

BTW your rule will trigger any icmp packet (ipv4/ipv6) . Read
README.ipv6 too  =)

Hi,

I have to detect smurf attaque with ICMPv6 paquet
I have used detection_filter and threshold like this:
lert icmp any any -> any any (msg:"---------- DOS IPV6: SMURF -----------";
detection_filter: track by_src, count 30, seconds 1; sid:1000009;)
alert icmp any any -> any any (msg:"---------- DOS IPV6: SMURF
-----------"; threshold: type limit, track by_src, count 30, seconds 1;
sid:10000010;)

but in alert file I obtain all the alerts
The script of smurf attack that I have used generates about17000 echo
request paquets per second and I want to have only one alert

Thanks

It looks like you are getting homework assignments to complete. This
list is not here to answer homework questions.

All the answers you seek are in the Snort manual and the README files
that accompany the distribution. You need to do a little work, read
the documentation and find your own answers.
