The # variable is currently setup for an RFC 1918 address space. # # You can specify it explicitly as: # # var HOME_NET 10.1.1.0/24 # # or use global variable $_ADDRESS which will be always # initialized to IP address and netmask of the network interface which you run # snort at. Under Windows, this must be specified as # $(_ADDRESS), such as: # $(\Device\Packet_{12345678-90AB-CDEF-1234567890AB}_ADDRESS) # # var HOME_NET $eth0_ADDRESS # # You can specify lists of IP addresses for HOME_NET # by separating the IPs with commas like this: # # var HOME_NET [10.1.1.0/24,192.168.1.0/24] # # MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PLACE ANY SPACES IN YOUR LIST! # # or you can specify the variable to be any IP address # like this: var HOME_NET any # Set up the external network addresses as well. A good start may be "any" var EXTERNAL_NET any # Configure your server lists. This allows snort to only look for attacks to # systems that have a service up. Why look for HTTP attacks if you are not # running a web server? This allows quick filtering based on IP addresses # These configurations MUST follow the same configuration scheme as defined # above for $HOME_NET. # List of DNS servers on your network var DNS_SERVERS $HOME_NET # List of SMTP servers on your network var SMTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET # List of web servers on your network var HTTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET # List of sql servers on your network var SQL_SERVERS $HOME_NET # List of telnet servers on your network var TELNET_SERVERS $HOME_NET # List of snmp servers on your network var SNMP_SERVERS $HOME_NET # Configure your service ports. This allows snort to look for attacks destined # to a specific application only on the ports that application runs on. For # example, if you run a web server on port 8081, set your HTTP_PORTS variable # like this: # # var HTTP_PORTS 8081 # # Port lists must either be continuous [eg 80:8080], or a single port [eg 80]. # We will adding support for a real list of ports in the future. # Ports you run web servers on # # Please note: [80,8080] does not work. # If you wish to define multiple HTTP ports, # ## var HTTP_PORTS 80 ## include somefile.rules ## var HTTP_PORTS 8080 ## include somefile.rules var HTTP_PORTS 80 # Ports you want to look for SHELLCODE on. var SHELLCODE_PORTS !80 # Ports you do oracle attacks on var ORACLE_PORTS 1521 # other variables # # AIM servers. AOL has a habit of adding new AIM servers, so instead of # modifying the signatures when they do, we add them to this list of servers. var AIM_SERVERS [64.12.24.0/24,64.12.25.0/24,64.12.26.14/24,64.12.28.0/24,64.12.29.0/24,64.12.161.0/24,64.12.163.0/24,205.188.5.0/24,205.188.9.0/24] # Path to your rules files (this can be a relative path) var RULE_PATH /etc/snort/rules # Configure the snort decoder # ============================ # # Snort's decoder will alert on lots of things such as header # truncation or options of unusual length or infrequently used tcp options # # # Stop generic decode events: # # config disable_decode_alerts # # Stop Alerts on experimental TCP options # # config disable_tcpopt_experimental_alerts # # Stop Alerts on obsolete TCP options # # config disable_tcpopt_obsolete_alerts # # Stop Alerts on T/TCP alerts # # In snort 2.0.1 and above, this only alerts when the a TCP option is detected # that shows T/TCP being actively used on the network.

Right now, only a portscan detector # is implemented but in the long term, many of the stateful subsystems of # snort will be migrated over to becoming flow plugins. This must be enabled # for flow-portscan to work correctly. # # See README.flow for additional information # # preprocessor flow: stats_interval 0 hash 2 # frag2: IP defragmentation support # ------------------------------- # This preprocessor performs IP defragmentation. This plugin will also detect # people launching fragmentation attacks (usually DoS) against hosts. No # arguments loads the default configuration of the preprocessor, which is a 60 # second timeout and a 4MB fragment buffer. # The following (comma delimited) options are available for frag2 # timeout [seconds] - sets the number of [seconds] than an unfinished # fragment will be kept around waiting for completion, # if this time expires the fragment will be flushed # memcap [bytes] - limit frag2 memory usage to [number] bytes # (default: 4194304) # # min_ttl [number] - minimum ttl to accept # # ttl_limit [number] - difference of ttl to accept without alerting # will cause false positves with router flap # # Frag2 uses Generator ID 113 and uses the following SIDS # for that GID: # SID Event description # ----- ------------------- # 1 Oversized fragment (reassembled frag > 64k bytes) # 2 Teardrop-type attack preprocessor frag2 # stream4: stateful inspection/stream reassembly for Snort #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Use in concert with the -z [all|est] command line switch to defeat stick/snot # against TCP rules. Also performs full TCP stream reassembly, stateful # inspection of TCP streams, etc. Can statefully detect various portscan # types, fingerprinting, ECN, etc. # stateful inspection directive # no arguments loads the defaults (timeout 30, memcap 8388608) # options (options are comma delimited): # detect_scans - stream4 will detect stealth portscans and generate alerts # when it sees them when this option is set # detect_state_problems - detect TCP state problems, this tends to be very # noisy because there are a lot of crappy ip stack # implementations out there # # disable_evasion_alerts - turn off the possibly noisy mitigation of # overlapping sequences. # # # min_ttl [number] - set a minium ttl that snort will accept to # stream reassembly # # ttl_limit [number] - differential of the initial ttl on a session versus # the normal that someone may be playing games. # Routing flap may cause lots of false positives. # # keepstats [machine|binary] - keep session statistics, add "machine" to # get them in a flat format for machine reading, add # "binary" to get them in a unified binary output # format # noinspect - turn off stateful inspection only # timeout [number] - set the session timeout counter to [number] seconds, # default is 30 seconds # memcap [number] - limit stream4 memory usage to [number] bytes # log_flushed_streams - if an event is detected on a stream this option will # cause all packets that are stored in the stream4 # packet buffers to be flushed to disk. This only # works when logging in pcap mode! # # Stream4 uses Generator ID 111 and uses the following SIDS # for that GID: # SID Event description # ----- ------------------- # 1 Stealth activity # 2 Evasive RST packet # 3 Evasive TCP packet retransmission # 4 TCP Window violation # 5 Data on SYN packet # 6 Stealth scan: full XMAS # 7 Stealth scan: SYN-ACK-PSH-URG # 8 Stealth scan: FIN scan # 9 Stealth scan: NULL scan # 10 Stealth scan: NMAP XMAS scan # 11 Stealth scan: Vecna scan # 12 Stealth scan: NMAP fingerprint scan stateful detect # 13 Stealth scan: SYN-FIN scan # 14 TCP forward overlap preprocessor stream4: disable_evasion_alerts # tcp stream reassembly directive # no arguments loads the default configuration # Only reassemble the client, # Only reassemble the default list of ports (See below), # Give alerts for "bad" streams # # Available options (comma delimited): # clientonly - reassemble traffic for the client side of a connection only # serveronly - reassemble traffic for the server side of a connection only # both - reassemble both sides of a session # noalerts - turn off alerts from the stream reassembly stage of stream4 # ports [list] - use the space separated list of ports in [list], "all" # will turn on reassembly for all ports, "default" will turn # on reassembly for ports 21, 23, 25, 53, 80, 143, 110, 111 # and 513 preprocessor stream4_reassemble # http_inspect: normalize and detect HTTP traffic and protocol anomalies # # lots of options available here.

This plugin takes the port numbers that RPC # services are running on as arguments - it is assumed that the given ports # are actually running this type of service. If not, change the ports or turn # it off. # The RPC decode preprocessor uses generator ID 106 # # arguments: space separated list # alert_fragments - alert on any rpc fragmented TCP data # no_alert_multiple_requests - don't alert when >1 rpc query is in a packet # no_alert_large_fragments - don't alert when the fragmented # sizes exceed the current packet size # no_alert_incomplete - don't alert when a single segment # exceeds the current packet size preprocessor rpc_decode: 111 32771 # bo: Back Orifice detector # ------------------------- # Detects Back Orifice traffic on the network.

It works in much the same way as the http_decode preprocessor, # searching for traffic that breaks up the normal data stream of a protocol and # replacing it with a normalized representation of that traffic so that the # "content" pattern matching keyword can work without requiring modifications. # This preprocessor requires no arguments. # Portscan uses Generator ID 109 and does not generate any SID currently. preprocessor telnet_decode # Flow-Portscan: detect a variety of portscans # --------------------------------------- # Note: The Flow preprocessor (above) must first be enabled for Flow-Portscan to # work. # # This module detects portscans based off of flow creation in the flow # preprocessors.

General # configuration for output plugins is of the form: # # output : # # alert_syslog: log alerts to syslog # ---------------------------------- # Use one or more syslog facilities as arguments. Win32 can also optionally # specify a particular hostname/port. Under Win32, the default hostname is # '127.0.0.1', and the default port is 514. # # [Unix flavours should use this format...] # output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # # [Win32 can use any of these formats...] # output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # output alert_syslog: host=hostname, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # output alert_syslog: host=hostname:port, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # log_tcpdump: log packets in binary tcpdump format # ------------------------------------------------- # The only argument is the output file name. # # output log_tcpdump: tcpdump.log # database: log to a variety of databases # --------------------------------------- # See the README.database file for more information about configuring # and using this plugin. # # output database: log, mysql, user=root password=test dbname=db host=localhost # output database: alert, postgresql, user=snort dbname=snort # output database: log, unixodbc, user=snort dbname=snort # output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort user=snort password=test # unified: Snort unified binary format alerting and logging # ------------------------------------------------------------- # The unified output plugin provides two new formats for logging and generating # alerts from Snort, the "unified" format. The unified format is a straight # binary format for logging data out of Snort that is designed to be fast and # efficient. Used with barnyard (the new alert/log processor), most of the # overhead for logging and alerting to various slow storage mechanisms such as # databases or the network can now be avoided. # # Check out the spo_unified.h file for the data formats. # # Two arguments are supported. # filename - base filename to write to (current time_t is appended) # limit - maximum size of spool file in MB (default: 128) # # output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128 # output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128 # You can optionally define new rule types and associate one or more output # plugins specifically to that type. # # This example will create a type that will log to just tcpdump. # ruletype suspicious # { # type log # output log_tcpdump: suspicious.log # } # # EXAMPLE RULE FOR SUSPICIOUS RULETYPE: # suspicious $HOME_NET any -> $HOME_NET 6667 (msg:"Internal IRC Server";) # # This example will create a rule type that will log to syslog and a mysql # database: # ruletype redalert # { # type alert # output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # output database: log, mysql, user=snort dbname=snort host=localhost # } # # EXAMPLE RULE FOR REDALERT RULETYPE: # redalert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 31337 \ # (msg:"Someone is being LEET"; flags:A+;) # # Include classification & priority settings # include classification.config # # Include reference systems # include reference.config #################################################################### # Step #4: Customize your rule set # # Up to date snort rules are available at http://www.snort.org # # The snort web site has documentation about how to write your own custom snort # rules. # # The rules included with this distribution generate alerts based on on # suspicious activity.
