What I meant is, if you look at your rule below, you are looking for the content of "anonymous", but you don't have the nocase keyword entered in your rule. So if your FTP client had "anonymous" appear as "Anonymous" or "ANONYMOUS", then your rule would fail. In other words, I always try and use the nocase option, especially when a rule is not working as I expect, but nocase makes it fool-proof and helps me rule out the content as being the problem.... -----Original Message----- From: Onie Camara To: Sheahan, Paul (PCLN-NW); 'Bamm Visscher' Cc: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Sent: 3/28/02 8:27 PM Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort+flexresp Hi Paul, Are you talking about the string "anonymous" and snort's case sensitivity? If so, I wasn't using the anonymous string in uppercase. I am very sure of that. Or I misunderstood your post?

Neil, I would stick the "nocase" option in your rule in case "anonymous"
appears
in upper or mixed case. That has solved a few similar problems for
me....

see
that there are RESETs being sent. It should work. Bammkkkk On Thu, 2002-03-28 at 09:50, Onie Camara wrote:Ok.

my

Most
of the time, the source of an HTTP connection sends five packets.
Two
for establishing the session (syn then ack), and two to tear down
the
session (fin/ack and ack). Plus one that contains the GET/POST/etc request (usually a push/ack). It is impossible for flex-resp to
kill
this session before the dest gets the GET/POST/etc, and thus it is impossible to create a rule to prevent the server from processing
the
GET/POST/etc request. If for some reason, the GET/POST/etc
contains so
much data that it is spread across multiple packets, then you may
have a
slim chance at killing the session before the dest processes the
request
(may the network lag be with you). The dest is going to send as many packets as it takes to return
the info
requested, but killing the connection at that time is almost
pointless
since the server has already processed the perps request/command.
At
best you might prevent the perp from seeing all the results of a directory listing. BTW, this is not a snort specific problem. It affect every IDS
using
tcp-resets to kill connections. Bammkkkk On Wed, 2002-03-27 at 00:36, Ronneil Camara wrote:Hi Bamm, I got impressed on how you answered your every post on this

So now, what can you suggest me so that flex-resp will be
successful
onkilling connections let say for http? Thank you very much.
