Announcement: Alert Verification for Snort

[Christopher Kruegel <chris () cs ucsb edu>]

[Please excuse multiple copies of this message]

Alert Verification is a technique to reduce the large number of false 
positives produced by intrusion detection systems such as Snort. The idea 
is to actively probe for the vulnerability that is exploited by a certain 
detected attack. When the victim is not vulnerable, the alert can be simply 
discarded or tagged with a low priority.

William Robertson has implemented an extension for Snort that implements 
Alert Verification. Patches for the current version of Snort (2.0.2) and 
additional information are available under
