Fwd: How to detect OS with Snort?

[Borja Luaces <borja.luaces () gmail com>]

Firstly, thanks.

i know that Nmap is a better tool but the fact is that the rule is to
detect specific attacks from windows OS. The company I work for does not
allow me to install anything else. I have to do it with snort this is why I
am trying that rule but it seems not to work.

Another fact is that I can not access snort logs to try to know why the
rule is not working.

I have just implemented a VM with snort to try the rules before  launching
them into the main IDS.
