IDS Basics problem

The 4th question requires a 3 digit answer. My nano alert and Snort command lines are correct but I get the number 5. Last night the number was 0.

Your FTP rule is wrong:

You have alert tcp any 80 - > any 21

Should be alert tcp any any - > any 21

I think the alert tcp any 80 - > is from earlier in the lab when there were two web traffic rules.

Changed it and it still says zero for question 37. And the number for question 36 got bigger.

Never mind, I found my last mistake. Thank you for the help!

what was the mistake?? I’m facing the same problem

Incorrect rule description - “Traffic to FTP Web Server Detected” instead of “Traffic to FTP Server Detected”

4. How many “FTP Server Detected” alerts are found in the apple.pcap file?

So, What is the correct answer from the last question? Please, I tried to finish three times, but the virtual system is getting disconnected constantly.

I’ll message it to you. If you’re getting disconnected frequently, I would recommend trying a different network connection as an initial troubleshooting measure.

Just posting here. I ran into the same problem, and confirm it would definitely be a typo issue in your rule. I realized my rule was set to “any 21 → any any” instead of “any any → any any”. So ensure you’re going to verify that.
