Chapter 34 IDP The following table describes the fields in this screen. Table 169 Configuration > Anti-X > IDP > Custom Signatures > Add/Edit LABEL DESCRIPTION Name Type the name of your custom signature. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive. Duplicate names can exist but it is advisable to use unique signature names that give some hint as to intent of the signature and the type of attack it is supposed to prevent. Refer to (but do not copy) the packet inspection signature names for hints on creating a naming convention. Signature ID A signature ID is automatically created when you click the Add icon to create a new signature. You can edit the ID to create a new one (in the 9000000 to 9999999 range), but you cannot use one that already exists. You may want to do that if you want to order custom signatures by SID. Information Use the following fields to set general information about the signature as denoted below. Severity The severity level denotes how serious the intrusion is. Categorize the seriousness of the intrusion here. See Table 163 on page 610 as a reference. Platform Some intrusions target specific operating systems only. Select the operating systems that the intrusion targets, that is, the operating systems you want to protect from this intrusion. SGI refers to Silicon Graphics Incorporated, who manufactures multi-user Unix workstations that run the IRIX operating system (SGI's version of UNIX). A router is an example of a network device. Service Select the IDP service group that the intrusion exploits or targets. See Table 165 on page 613 for a list of IDP service groups. The custom signature then appears in that group in the IDP > Profile > Group View screen. Policy Type Categorize the type of intrusion here. See Table 164 on page 612 as a reference. Frequency Recurring packets of the same type may indicate an attack. Use the following field to indicate how many packets per how many seconds constitute an intrusion Threshold Select Threshold and then type how many packets (that meet the criteria in this signature) per how many seconds constitute an intrusion. Header Options Network Protocol Configure signatures for IP version 4. Type Of Service Type of service in an IP header is used to specify levels of speed and/ or reliability. Some intrusions use an invalid Type Of Service number. Select the check box, then select Equal or Not-Equal and then type in a number. Identification The identification field in a datagram uniquely identifies the datagram. If a datagram is fragmented, it contains a value that identifies the datagram to which the fragment belongs. Some intrusions use an invalid Identification number. Select the check box and then type in the invalid number that the intrusion uses. 624 ZyWALL USG 300 User's Guide
