Bradley,

Snort does have global thresholding. Please refer to Event Filtering in
the following link:

http://manual.snort.org/node19.html#SECTION00342000000000000000

Using gen_id 0, sig_id 0 is used to specify a global threshold applying to
all rules.

The best thing to do, if you aren't interested in Snort alerting on this
traffic is to use a BPF to not pass it to Snort in the first place.  If
you can't do that, or don't want to, then perhaps a custom pass rule? (or
rather probably two, one for each direction.)

Subject: [Snort-users] How to threshold ALL sigs

Hi All,

Is there a way to threshold ALL sig alerts, but doing so based upon
source IP and dest ip (session aware)?

Before thresholding:

sourceipA ------> destipA  ---- Alert A #1 10:29:15 sourceipA ------>
destipA  ---- Alert A #2 10:29:26 sourceipA ------> destipA  ---- Alert A
#3 10:29:39 sourceipB ------> destipA  ---- Alert A #4 10:29:42 sourceipB
------> destipA  ---- Alert A #5 10:29:55 sourceipB ------> destipA  ----
Alert A #6 10:30:12

After thresholding:

sourceipA ------> destipA  ---- Alert A #1 10:29:15 sourceipA ------>
destipA  ---- Alert A #2 10:29:26 ------ not logged (thresholded)
sourceipA ------> destipA  ---- Alert A #3 10:29:39 ------ not logged
(thresholded) sourceipB ------> destipA  ---- Alert A #4 10:29:42
sourceipB ------> destipA  ---- Alert A #5 10:29:55 ------ not logged
(thresholded) sourceipB ------> destipA  ---- Alert A #6 10:30:12------
not logged (thresholded)

I want to basically write one rule / threshold for this.  I don't want to
maintain a huge library of thresholds.  Any ideas?



Thanks,

Brad
