DNS Query sigs: msg#00157

security.ids.snort.bleedingsnort

Subject: DNS Query sigs

Just committed this. PLease test it and let me know how those numbers
do. The idea being to catch spambots come live and start looking up
large numbers of MX records. (Hmm... maybe we can make these for just MX
lookups?)

Environments where they can't run the irc sigs for whatever reason, this
might help find the bots.

#Experimenting with this idea. When a bot comes up live and starts
spamming, it
# does a massive number of dns queries. This may be an extra way to
identify infections
alert udp $HOME_NET any -> $DNS_SERVERS 53 (msg:"BLEEDING-EDGE POLICY
Unusually High Client DNS Query Volume -- Possible Spambot"; threshold:
type both, count 60, seconds 20, track by_src;
