Because this is a custom rule, it has to be manually added at least for now to the sid-msg.map file, for example:



1000024 || DOS syn attempt || url, <add the tool url for reference>



Also add the the URL to your Snort rule (and revision number too :) ). If the alert is showing in BASE as Snort Alert 
[1:1000024:1], which stands for gid:sid:rev , then you will have to update the "signature" table in the database, 
barnyard2 documents the update
 statement to execute. Then you can add the tool to the local.rules file, and tell PulledPork if are using it to 
process local rules as part of its processing.



Thanks for the rule.

Re: [Snort-users] letdown, dos attempt not detecting




its really works, thanks. here is the rule:


alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"DOS syn attempt"; flags:S; flow:to_server; classtype:attempted-dos; 
detection_filter: track by_src, count 1000, seconds 40; sid:1000024;)



the only think is: i cant see the msg on BASE GUI, and this is a really interesting thing.

im testing snort attacking it with a tool called "letdown".it is a tcp floder. The think is: im not able to detect what 
could be a potencial dos attack.
Letdown generate like 65000 syn packets, so this should be detect fot snort. I have uncomment the dos and ddos rules, 
but no deal. so im tring to create a rule to detct this kind of traffic. Is that possible? any idea how i can do that?





Check out Snort's README.filters.  There are rate_filter examples for 135:1 that you can start with.
