Description

Heelo. I tested byte_extract and found that it does not work in some situations. snort(2.9.12) detected all of the following situations:

Payload = |31 30 32 36 10 38 20 21 33 34 2e 11 22 33 44 55 66 2e 32 31|
The pcap file is also attached.

alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"byte extract test 1"; byte_extract:2,0,two1,string,dec; content:"|33 34|"; offset:0; depth:two1; sid:1; rev:1;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"byte extract test 2"; byte_extract:1,2,two2,string,dec; content:"|33 34|"; offset:8; depth:two2; sid:2; rev:1;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"byte extract test 3"; byte_extract:1,2,two3,string,dec; byte_extract:1,5,eight,string,dec; content:"|33 34|"; offset:eight; depth:two3; sid:3; rev:1;)

alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"byte extract test 8"; byte_extract:1,2,dectwo2,string,dec; content:"|32|"; offset:dectwo2; sid:8; rev:1;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"byte extract test 9"; byte_extract:1,4,hexten; byte_extract:1,0,decone,string,dec; content:"|66|"; offset:hexten; depth:decone; sid:9; rev:1;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"byte extract test 10"; byte_extract:1,4,two4; content:"|31|"; depth:1; content:"|2e|"; distance:two4; within:1; sid:10; rev:1;)

suricata alert: sid:1, sid:4, sid:5, sid:8
snort alert: all rules

If offset and depth are used together except "offset: 0", they are not alerted.
In case of sid: 10, it will be alerted when removing within or depth.

Is it correct not to work in suricata? Or is it a bug?

Please check the above. Thank you.

There are some differences between suricata and snort regarding this keyword, see https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules/differences-from-snort.html#byte-extract-keyword.

But thanks for submitting rules AND the pcap so we could dig into that.

Andreas, could you create a set of suricata-verify tests for this?

Actions #3

Updated by Andreas Herz over 5 years ago

sure, can we use those rules and this pcap or do we need dedicated permission?

I also confirmed that as soon as I replace the vars with the value it works as expected, so no issue with the keywords like distance, depth IMHO.

What's also confusing to me, that most of those rules trigger twice even with runmode single. Can anyone confirm and has an idea why?

sudo /usr/bin/suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -S /tmp/byteextract.rules -r /tmp/byte_extract_test.pcap --runmode=single

}

The second timestamp would match the last ACK packet but that doesn't have the content.
I can also reproduce it without byte_extract with this rule:
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"byte extract test 1"; content:"|33 34|"; offset:0; depth:10; sid:1; rev:1;)

This is probably because the rule matches on both packet payload and stream payload. --engine-analysis could be used to confirm.

Wrt the pcap/rules. Yeah you can use them in the tests. Just add a readme with a link to the ticket.

In my environment it's still the same. Can you tell me the settings for the above test?

New installation for pcap reading.

suricata.yaml is the same as the default value.

Jeff, since you are also looking at byte_math, it might make sense to look at this one at the same time.
