Re: Automatically decoding of Teredo traffic

Hello.  Joel, please refer to the pcap file from
http://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Teredo.pcap,
packet 31.  I tried this rule:

alert udp any 3544 -> any any (msg:"Packet 31 Detected"; content:"|60|";
offset:8; depth:1; sid:135792468;)

I do not see an alert!  Did I write the rule wrong?  Is not 0x60 at offset
8 in the true IPv4 payload?

Thanks.

Do you have a pcap you can send us off list?

Hello.  Thanks for the responce Russ.  Using '-A cmg' I see the full
packet displayed.  However, it seems 2 me that Snort 2.9 compiled with IPv6
is detecting the encapsulation and not populating the matching buffers as
one would expects.  I don't have the same experience as Yun but also I am
not able to detect on the actual payload like I needs to - the actual IPv4
payload is what I want to match on with the Snort rules ("content", etc.)
and because the payload is IPv6 and the snort is compiled with IPv6
support, the engine seems to mange the packet so that I cannot detect on
actual payload but may have to guess what the engine is doing and detect on
the modified data?  The snort binary is compiled with the IPv6 support and
I tried to modify configs like comment out 'preprocessor normalize_ip6' but
I still get packet mangle for the sensor detection engine and I do not know
how to tell it not to do this.

Thank you for the help.

Cheers,

There is no way to turn off teredo at runtime and, as of 2.9.4, there is
no way to build without ip6 support, but Snort rules can be written to
match on either the inner or outer IP layers.  Furthermore, snort -A cmg
will show both layers and unified2 packets have both as well.

As for the example, need to see a pcap.  There should be no need to add
the ip6 address, which doesn't really make sense since it is a udp rule
(meaning the ip6 header is considered payload assuming something like
eth:ip4:udp:ip6:icmp6).

Hello.  I have not seen an answer to this question and I was thinking
the same thing myself.  Would perhaps this be better asked on snort-sigs?
I hate to cross-post so maybe Joel E. you can do the needful with asking
who might know this answer?  Thank you.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I have Snort compiled with IPv6 support, and now it seems to
automatically decode Teredo traffic. This is a nice feature but I want
to detect Teredo tunnels on my network, but because the packet is
automatically decoded I cannot detect on the original ipv4 packets
that created the tunnel.

For example, the following signature works on Snort without ipv6
support and reports the ipv4 source and dest that created the tunnel:

alert udp $EXTERNAL_NET 3544 -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"Teredo IPv6
Tunneling - Router Advertisement to Client"; content:"|FE 80 00 00 00
00 00 00 80 00|"; offset:29; depth:10; classtype:policy-violation;
sid:xxx; rev:1;)

However with Snort and ipv6 support the signature stopped working and
i had to modify the signature to:

alert udp $EXTERNAL_NET 3544 ->
[$HOME_NET,fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff] any (msg:"Teredo
IPv6 Tunneling - Router Advertisement to Client"; content:"|FE 80 00
00 00 00 00 00 80 00|"; offset:29; depth:10;
classtype:policy-violation; sid:xxxx; rev:1;)

However it would then report the ipv6 addresses from the decoded
Teredo traffic instead of the original ipv4 addresses:

[**] [1:xxx:1] Teredo IPv6 Tunneling - Router Advertisement to Client
[**] [Classification: Potential Corporate Privacy Violation]
[Priority: 4] {IPV6-ICMP} fe80:0000:0000:0000:8000:xxxxx ->
fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff

Is there a configuration option that disables the automatic decoding
of teredo (and 6in4) tunnels? Ofcourse i could compile it without ipv6
support but i'm looking for a better solution.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I think this actually degrades the
detection capabilities of Snort because it lost the original ipv4
addresses.

Regards,

Yun
