Objet : RE: LDAPv3 with simple authentication

Hello,

Any ideas / suggestions / advices will be greatly appreciated regarding this question.

In the meantime, here's a working signature without fully decoding the BER data :
alert tcp any any -> any 389 (sid:1000000; gid:1; flow:established,to_server; content:"|30|"; depth:1; content:"|02|"; 
distance:1; within:127; content:"|60|"; distance:1; within:5; content:"|02 01 03 04|"; fast_pattern; distance:1; 
within:127; content:"|80|"; distance:1; within:127; content:!"|02 01 03 04 00 a3|"; offset:7; depth:257; msg:"LDAPv3 
simple Authentication"; classtype:policy-violation; rev:1; )

It would be great if it could be reviewed by Talos.
I can provide a packet capture if needed.

Regards,

Damien

Objet : [Snort-sigs] LDAPv3 with simple authentication

Hello,

We need to write a signature to match on LDAPv3 with simple authentication.
LDAPv3 is described in the RFC 2251 through Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) and encoded through a subset of Basic 
Encoding Rules (BER) in the packets.
You may have a look to this great website http://www.selfadsi.org/ldap.htm#Frame to have a quick look over the encoding.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.690#BER_encoding is also a good source of information.
As you should have seen the length can be encoded in a short or long form.
When the short form is used the MSB is set to 0 and the 7 remaining bits are used to encode the length directly from 0 
to 127.
Using the byte_jump function we should be able to jump to the next encoded data.
When the long form is used the MSB is set to 1 and the 7 remaining bits are used to encode the number of bytes that 
follow from 1 to 126 which will contains the actual length.
Using byte_extract and byte_jump functions with bitmask we should be able to jump to the next encoded data.
Before reaching the point where the LDAPv3 authentication is set to simple (encoded to 0) or sasl (encoded to 3) 
there're 5 short or long length bytes.
Is there a way through the subset of snort packet dissection functions to match on this without writing 32 (2^5) 
different signatures to match all short / long possibilities ?
The BER encoding is also used to encode SNMP, the same kind of issue may have been seen there also.

Thank you for your help,

Damien
