Re: Snort Rule Creation

Maybe something like:

alert tcp $SOURCEIP any -> ![destip1, destip2, destip3] any (msg:”Unauthorized TCP traffic initiated”; flags:S; 
sid:1000000; rev:1;)

?

Good Afternoon everyone,

My name is John and I am starting out with creating Snort rules.  I have experience using Snort with IDS's such as 
Sourcefire and Security Onion for incident response.  However, i don't have much experience creating custom rules.  
Although i once created a rule during one of my security classes during my undergrad program lol  Anyway, i have been 
reading documentation for how to understand/create rules from a variety of sources.  But I wanted to reach out to you 
guys and see what information you can provide.

I have a device that is communicating with about 8 other devices.  I would like to write a rule that alerts if it 
detects any communication outside of those devices.

Is it possible to list multiple ip addresses within a rule and maybe use an is not "!=" attribute.

So something like: alert tcp != sourceip1  80 -> destip1, destip2, destip3, etc (msg:"Alert Message";)

I would appreciate any assistance and will continue to do my own research and see if i can figure it out on my own :)

Regards,
John
