6.1 Understanding Signatures
6.1.5 Signature series and categories
CIDS organizes its signatures in series. Each series is a collection of related signatures. There signature series are: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000, and 10000. The following is a list of the series and the signatures found within each:
  • 1000 Series—IP signatures
    • IP Options
    • IP Fragmentation
    • Bad IP Packets
  • 2000 Series—ICMP signatures
    • ICMP Traffic Records
    • Ping Sweeps
    • ICMP Attacks
  • 3000 Series—TCP signatures
    • TCP Traffic Records
    • TCP Port Scans
    • TCP Host Sweeps
    • Mail Attacks
    • FTP Attacks
    • Legacy CIDS Web Attacks (Signature IDs 3200-3233)
