Re: Acid 0.9.6b6 Reference Links

From my rules file "...(msg:"MISC Large ICMP Packet"; dsize: >800;
reference:arachnids,246;)".

So I should be seeing hyperlinks, right?

Indeed you should see hyperlinks.  Update to ACID v0.9.6b9+

For example, when snort detects a "Large ICMP Packet", and puts it into
the
database, Acid shows "MISC Large ICMP Packet" in the "signature" field
of
its output.  Shouldn't this be a hyperlink to the corresponding entry in
the
arachnids database?

Examine the specific rule "Large ICMP Packet" in the Snort rules
file, do you see a corresponding "reference: arachnids, 123"?
(the number is unimportant).  I checked the default Snort-1.7
rule set and this particular rule did not come with a reference.
Hence ACID cannot provide a link for it.

If you do have a reference tag though, then this confirms that
ACID is broken, which if memory serves, there was a bug in
reference support at some point in the past.  I recommend
upgrading to a mimimum of b9 to fix this issue.

I can't figure out why I'm not able to use the whitehats.com
reference
hyperlinks that acid is supposed to generate.  I'm no PHP programmer
by
any
means, but I can see the code that is supposed to do this in
acid_common.php
(lines 379-391 and 414-418).

Do you signatures look like "IDS/100 foo"?

BTW, I've tried acid-0.9.6b12 and got a bunch of PHP errors, so I
went
back
to b6 for now.

What were these errors?
