Not necessarily. This could be someone trying to list a virtual directory,
but in many cases it could be someone using a script or scanning utility
crawling your site. This generates a lot of 403's. If it's occuring many
times from one source, this might indicate a scanner/crawler being used by
that source. If it's occuring from MANY sources and only a few times for
each source, it may indicate you have a problem on your site....such as a
bad link sending people to a page where they don't have permission to view.

Subject: [Snort-users] Would you suspect?


Hi guys,

I am receiving a lot of alerts from my snort, WEB-MISC 403 Forbidden.
The source is actually our web server going to a public ip address.
Would you suspect that the destination ip is trying to hopefully, make
a dir listing of our virtual directory? What's your analysis?

Thanks. -neil
