Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

P0F in Snort?: msg#00154

security.ids.snort.bleedingsnort

Subject: P0F in Snort?

Stray thought: ANyone ever seen or thought about integrating p0f into
snort? P0f is an OS detection tool that's uncannily accurate by tcp
behavior, totally passive.

What if we were to have p0f just feed it's thoughts about a client to a
flowbit, we'd be able to query that flowbit to get the p0f reading on
whether a source or dest is a certain OS? Like

flowbits:isnotset,p0f.src.is.WinXPSP2;

That'd allow us a lot of possibilities in eliminating false positives,
or attacks to machines that are not relevant. Or blocking inbound email
from XP boxes (likely bots)

More I think about it, more possibilities come to mind.

Any coders interested in looking into that?

Matt
