Without a pcap it will be hard to determine if the rule needs to
be
adjusted.

Thanks!

SUBJECT: [Snort-sigs] lots of false positives, Neutrino

I was looking at my snort alerts on SecurityOnion today and
noticed a
TON of alerts for "EXPLOIT-KIT Neutrino exploit kit landing page
detected" (rule screenshot is attached)

looking at the rules for the past two years I have not seen many
false
positives on exploit kit landing pages. however this seem to be
coming
in for a wide range of users and a wide range of sites
(everything
from dell to evite to bing domains)

Just curious if other people out there are experiencing this.
with how
wide range it is and no other rules indicating compromise i
believe it
is a false positive however with the current uptick in Neutrino
exploit kits in the wild I thought i would submit something here.

Thanks!

Grant
