Broken thresholding in 2923.1 and 2924.1?: msg#00153

Subject: Broken thresholding in 2923.1 and 2924.1?


Rule: NETBIOS SMB repeated logon failure
Rule: NETBIOS SMB-DS repeated logon failure

--
Sid: 2923, 2924

Rules 2923.1 and 2924.1 are monitoring failed login server responses
so it seems to me that they should be thresholding on destination, not
source:

alert tcp $HOME_NET 139 -> $EXTERNAL_NET any
(msg:"NETBIOS SMB repeated logon failure";
flow:from_server,established;
content:"|ff|SMB"; offset:4; depth:4;
content:"|73|"; distance:0; within:1;
content:"|6d0000c0|"; distance:0; within:4;
threshold:type threshold,track by_dst,count 10,seconds 60;
classtype:unsuccessful-user; sid:2923; rev:2;)

alert tcp $HOME_NET 445 -> $EXTERNAL_NET any
(msg:"NETBIOS SMB-DS repeated logon failure";
flow:from_server,established;
content:"|ff|SMB"; offset:4; depth:4;
content:"|73|"; distance:0; within:1;
content:"|6d0000c0|"; distance:0; within:4;
threshold:type threshold,track by_dst,count 10,seconds 60;
classtype:unsuccessful-user; sid:2924; rev:2;)


Or is the intent of these two rules to track distributed cracking?
