Re: Why would my server trigger rule Sid 17487

It would be really helpful to have a pcap to determine if the rule is a false positive or not. 

The rule was written for an issue with IE 6 on Windows XP according to the documentation. XP has long been dead and the 
current IE version is 11.

Maybe you have users trying to connect with old machines/outdated browsers?

No. 
Since I don't use snort nor pcap for ips it would take some time to gather this information.

A customer is reporting this rule trigger.

We have quite a few customers in our training every day for several years and this is the first we've heard of this 
issue.

Hello,

        Would you happen to have some sample traffic in pcap format for review?

We have a customer complaining that our online training is triggering packet loss due to 
https://www.snort.org/rule_docs/17487

What could be triggering this alert?

Thanks,
