Re: Snort 3.0 is not detecting shell code attacks

[Chankit Dureja <chankit.dureja () dcmail ca>]

Hello all,


I am working on a project where we are implementing SNORT as a detection system.


Does anyone know what all information would we need from our networks team to be able to implement it? Like 
router/switches info?


Thanks,

Chank

It web pages explain how to rules json attacks :

https://idstools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/u2json.html

u2json - A unified2 to JSON converter — idstools 0.6.3 documentation - 
idstools.readthedocs.io<https://idstools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/u2json.html>
idstools.readthedocs.io
The above command will operate like barnyard, reading all unified2.log files in /var/log/snort, waiting for new 
unified2 records when the end of the last file is reached.

OMG! It worked!!!! I added '--lua "search_engine.detect_raw_tcp = true"' to my command and worked!

Thank you so much :)

You need to add –k none --lua "search_engine.detect_raw_tcp = true" to your command line.  Doing so gets some hits on 
1394 and 648.

Raw tcp detection is required by those rules and the checksum issue is indicated by the shutdown stats without –k none:

codec
                    total: 194402       (100.000%)
                 discards: 85883       ( 44.178%)
ipv4
             bad_checksum: 85831

An update will be out soon that removes the requirement for the raw tcp setting.

Thanks for your help. I think the community rules are enough for what I want to test. For example, the rule below seems 
enough to trigger an alert, but does not make sense to me why is not triggered...


  *   alert ip $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any ( msg:"INDICATOR-SHELLCODE x86 inc ecx NOOP"; 
content:"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"; metadata:ruleset community; classtype:shellcode-detect; sid:1394; rev:17;

There are other rules, non-related to shell code, that are triggered, so Snort seems working. I already tested the rule 
I mentioned separately, but didn't work either.

Maybe community rules doesn’t enough against It attacks ?

Is also possible to check my config files and .pcap file in: https://we.tl/t-CL0SotgzlU

I send those files enclosed in this email. It's possible to check now my problem easily.

I run this command every time I want to test Snort:

  *   snort -r myfile.pcapng -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua -R /usr/local/etc/snort/rules/snort3-community.rules -A 
alert_json > alerts.json

I'm expecting the rule "1394" and "648" to be triggered, but is not working... In .pcap file is possible to see buffer 
overflow attacks tested by me (e.g. check the filter "tcp.dstport==50096 or tcp.dstport==50098").

What is the problem?

Please send pcap, rules, config so we can help you out.

I'm testing snort 3.0 with Community rules.
Besides triggering alerts from port scans, it is not detecting Buffer
Overflow attacks (.i.e. made with Metasploit).
Is there a problem with the current rules in Snort 3.0? Should I
activate/config something else?

Ps: I'm testing Snort from .pcap files
