Detecting http 'basic-auth' brute force

Hi all,I have installed snort 1.8.4-beta1 with acid on my test-machine and I want snort to detect brute-force attacks that aim to get the http-basic-auth password
to a given url, say http://192.168.123.45/secret/ I am running Debian Woody and snort and acid work well. I use a programm called wwwhack [1] to attack my test-machine. After about 50000 attempts snort keeps silent.Are there any rules to catch this? I did not find any at snort.org. Also the
documentation does not seem to clearify this. Any hint where to find this (and for similar protocolls like pop, imap, smtp-auth, ftp etc.) will be appreciated as I think this is a common attack against public servers (I wonder why snort from debian does not include rules for this by default). Thanks for your answers!
