Thanks Albert in advance.

figured - "apt-get install snort" thats why the older version.

Snort Version:
Version 2.9.6.0 GRE (Build 47)

Snort Command:
snort -d -i eth0 -A console -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/

Prospect signature:
alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HTTP_SERVERS $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"ET SCAN w3af
User Agent"; flow: established,to_server;  content:"User-Agent|3a|
w3af.sourceforge.net"; http_header; fast_pattern:only; reference:url,
w3af.sourceforge.net; reference:url,doc.emergingthreats.net/2007757;
classtype:attempted-recon; sid:2007757; rev:12;)

Attached the PCAP and snort.conf

All the help, much appreciated.

Any reason why you aren't using the latest snort version (2.9.7.5)? 2.9.6
is pretty outdated.

Do you have a conf and pcap you can share that isn't working?

Thanks!

Subject: [Snort-users] Detecting w3af scans
Importance: High

Hi,

I am running snort (2.9.6.0 GRE (Build 47)) on ubuntu 14.04 in the IDS
mode along with ET rules for 2.9

The snort command:
snort -d -i eth1 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort -A console

Emergingrules:
sid-msg.map:2007757 || ET SCAN w3af User Agent || url,
doc.emergingthreats.net/2007757 || url,w3af.sourceforge.net
sid-msg.map:2011027 || ET SCAN w3af Scan In Progress ARGENTINA Req Method
|| url,doc.emergingthreats.net/2011027 || url,w3af.sourceforge.net
sid-msg.map:2011389 || ET SCAN w3af Scan Remote File Include Retrieval ||
url,w3af.sourceforge.net

Still unable to detect these scans, infact this seems to be the case with
a standard SQLMap as well.

Any / all help is welcome :)

Bruno.
